Need DIY for DINAN cold air intake
I searched the net, but didn't find anything on a DIY Dinan Intake install. I've seen that many have installed it, but haven not seen DIY's.
I bought it for my 545i from the member, come with instruction but can not figure out where to relocate the secondary air filter? it seams that it should be away from watery areas. I removed the pass headlight and grill. has the front bumper come off to install it?
please help
Thanks!

My Ride: 09 550i 6sp M-Tech. 18mm spacers rear, 8mm front. Dinan intake and Stage 2 tune. Tinted tails, M5 OEM lip spoiler.
08 Z4 3.0si Black on Black with Beige top. Removable hardtop. (Hers)
06 Volvo S60R Heavily Modded!! Gone and missed.
What secondary air filter? The intake I have has just one filter and the supplied Dinan instructions were more than adequate. There is the secondary intake tube that runs over to the passenger side. You didn't buy an M5 setup did you?

Thanks for reply, by secondary air filter i mean air pump filter that is close to the passenger headlight,
anyways I installed the intake it was easy except relocating that mentioned round filter. I tucked it under the headlight should be ok i think.

It sounds like the kit you bought was modified by the original owner, the Dinan kit does not have a filter for the passenger side. Can you attach a pic of this filter?

Any pictures of this installed?
(To the OP: if you had issues installing, and couldn't find a DIY, maybe you could help others by "making one" yourself?)
Just my $.02
