Ok this is how these threads always go down. Some troll (in this case one who already knows the answer) starts a BS thread in the hopes that he and his employer/sponsor will be able to incessantly and finally beat down the forum veterans by posting endless amounts of these same threads in the hopes that they will finally be sick of posting the SAME thing over and over. Then the vets (in this case) ECF call bullshit on em. Posts irriputable damaging evidence of their inferior product. The trolls wont post again in the thread. Then theyll wait 3 months and hope the vets die and try again.

Make this a sticky

Dear Forum Members,

I bought the newest Mostly closed COLD AIR AFE INTAKE air box and filter from Bav Auto in December and other than for se reason my BLACK "O" ring was left off causing my MASU go wild and making my check engine light going off. It would not PASS GA emissions test untiI I replaced the MASS air unit, and it reset itself after 200 miles and my AFE unit seems ok, now it dont give the 24hp and better MPG It is sells BS thing like some vendors say it does. (WRONG!) Maybe 2 or 3 extra HP


Now for a show car with the hood open it look big and cool, and my big round air filter is fully enclosed once my hood is down and sounds a little louder that stock? Would I EVER purchase another one for another BMW probaly not, but now in April in the 76 - 80 degrees it doing ok, but I wonder how well it does in the 85 and 100 degree Hot sticky summer days here in Atlanta GA and I am still in the "Spring" test stages, anybody interested in the hot 90-100 degree air soak why Just ask me in July or August and I wll be more than happy to share my report of the truth of my findings of the AFE COLD AIR INTAKE with you, buy not as a vendor, but a BMW Owner just like you are.


Hope this helps!

Not the older stand alond open style AFE unit with no heat protection, but the newer stage II three sided air filter box that totally surrounds the LARGE round AFE Filter with the hood when closed is acting as the TOP of the AFE Air Box. it looks well designed and so far, (having one install problem, ((NOT AFEs FAULT, I wish it was LOL)), but the fault of an experienced mechanic with our BMW E60s and he left the MAFS BLACK "O" ring off causing my check engine light soon going off, idrive settings going wild throwing out numbers I never heard off, and when it came time to pass an emmisions test it end up costing me $400.00 for BMW MASF UNIT AND installing by this time a certified Mechanic who wore latex gloves making sure NOTHING could get off his hands that could effect the intense BMW OEM MAF unit, but now in hot Atlanta Ga spring weather in the 70s and 80s it running good! Now is it worth the trouble of having it
Installed on Our hi tech BMWs for the small HP it has and it cool looks? NO I wished I would had left my stock air box and put in a K&N air filter and maybe researched the RPI rhoute but it's expensive also for two RPIs!


Hope this helps!!
