Come on guys, we all know the AFE got a proven bad wrap. Here is the thread on the AFE after dyno tests on a 550i:

I agree you can do the AFE if you want the sound enhancement+loss in power+higher costs. Buy it if this is your goal, otherwise the RPI scoops are a viable option.
Did we all forget the AFE refund thread too?

I would do RPI Scoop which we do have one in stock for your vehicle.
NO ON AFE even on the 535i/335i intakes. I don't care what people say if they dyno'd it or whatever. I raced my cousins 335i coupe 6 spd with AFE intake, AFE scoops, AND JB2 against my LOANER 335i AUTO 4 DOOR and I was DEAD even with him. AFE is a JOKE!
AND I'm still waiting for the stupid refunds!

That isn't any difference than the AFE. It's a Hot Air Intake that throws a CEL.

***will the e90 335i set-up fit the e60 535i as well (since both are n54 engines)? Or is there an rpi intake for the 535i? Didn't see one on the rpi website..
