My Ride: 2004 545i - Bone stock... help!
For any worried about these mods/upgrades - Last week there was a sand storm between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, while driving it occured to me that I basically have a big ass sand shovel in my grill now so I began getting nervous about the amount of crap flowing into my car clogging the filter.
Once I stopped to check, it looked brand new! I'm not really quite sure how... and under the filter was completely clean, no particulate matter at all (there are little boxes where crap is supposed to collect, and nada).
Very cool, worries erased! It's clearly magic and dissolves the sand
. (only thing I could figure.)
