Just removed my afe intake

+1 You definitely get some pickup there - just from the removal of the charcoal filter, as well as a slightly more aggressive sound. I can also attest that the Dinan setup works and also sounds very aggressive when you open it up.

can you point me in the direction of this DIY intake mod? Maybe I'm search challenged but can't seem to find anything on it. Thanks in advance!

My Ride: 2004 Blacked out 530i, Carbon Fiber Pillars, Carbon Fiber Emblems (Wheels, Steering Wheel and Hood/Trunk). Blacked out kidney Grill, Smoked side marker lights, 15mm Rear Spacers, K&N Filter, Window Tint, Navigon Syst. Breyton Front Lip. Bilistein Coil Over Suspension Front & Rear Droped 1.5" Genuine M5 Pedal set. Mtechnik side skirts, RPI Exhaust.
did anyone see that thread about someone using a dremal drill to remove all the groves in the OEM air box as to let the air flow more agressively through the box?
He claimed to have felt the car have more power and said that the M5 air boxes dont have these groves. just wondering if anyone knew about this, i dont see how removing the grooves would hurt the flow of the air being forced in by the RPI scoop plus a K&N or BMC air filter. thinking im gonna do this mod soon..........
