I have the AFE air intake system in my 530xi, i think i threw out my stock ones, so if anyone wants to do a even trade or have stock intake that wants to sell. Please PM me with the price and all. THANK YOU!

Do you also have a Magnaflow exhaust to go with the AFE? 
hey, sorry to add to the above comments - I know you probably had the best intentions when you posted this thread, but it will be tough to move AFE on this forum.
I'll redeem myself: even though AFE intake systems have been dyno-proven to cause a decrease in power, it has been largely attributed to the temperature under the hood. Which means that with some heat-wrapping and a little customizing, there is a very good chance that the AFE intake will actually add HP. Also, I have a feeling that having a vented hood would go a long way...
