If you mean the scoop, GET IT!!! I love my scoop, can feel (even if it's only my butt dyno) more power at 60+ MPH.

yeh the scoop deal, Im on it. easy install?, I did a cold air intake on my 99 m3 from bavauto sport and totally noticed it above 50mph, sound was cool for car and its day. I ll keep ya posted when I get it set up
It's much easier than a full CAI install, Joe from Trinity did mine in about 5 mins - literally. I think it took longer for me to pop the hood than it took him to install.

So the BMC filter replaces the regular filter in the airbox (lower half). What about the 2nd filter in the top half of the airbox?? Do people remove this, and does it help at all??
