Hi guys,

im looking for an intake system for my e60 523i facelifted.

B&B
Dinan
AFe

however, out of the many intakes that i've sourced through,
i've yet to find one that can fit my car.

does anyone have any idea which intake can i fit to my car
for slightly better performance and sound ?

i'm looking more on the side of performance.

p.s GruppeM out of question as its overpriced.

thanks,
mark !

an intake alone will not give you any notable performance gain...so unless you have plans for investing a lott of money and getting other stuff as well, then better not go for this...spend your money on sth else...

i suggest you go for the Sprint Booster. no performance gain, but ur car will become waaay more responsive and more fun to drive...

however, the aFe is for 3litre 525i. is it the same engine as 2.5litre 523i ?

in that case it might not...cuz 523i has a 2.5 liter engine.

just email a vendor who sells the AFE intake and they'll be able to tell you...
