LOL
dude no, consistent reliable dynos have shown the AFE intakes for our cars lose power during any form of heatsoak which is when you drive it for more than 10 minutes
a butt dyno doesnt matter or count

Aftermarket intakes on naturally aspirated motors only increases one thing, intake noise. Expect zero to minimal HP gains!
On a forced induction motor, sure, there are gains to be had from cold air intakes due to cooler / denser intake air charge.
Unless you are going to do a whole bunch of other intake and exhaust mods, don't waste your money. Save up for a SC kit, or save to upgrade to a higher spec 5-series.
Just my 2c worth
