My Ride: 2008 535i - Deep Sea Blue Metallic, Black Nasca Leather w/ Ventilated Seats, Anthracite Headliner, Sport Pkg, Premium Pkg, Cold Weather Pkg, Sport Auto Transmission w/ Shift Paddles, PDC, Rear Side Airbag, Automatic Sunshades, Heads Up Display, Sat, HD Radio, Navigation, Logic 7
Does anybody have the AFE Stage II intake on their 535? I bought mine from Joe about 2 months ago. My 535 does not feel any faster or slower, it feels the same. Do the 535's experience reduced performance as well? Of course after reading this thread I am going to believe in my mind that my 535 is suffering now.
Can somebody shed some light on this for me please?
If it is reducing my car's power, I might as well take it out and add my name to the list.
Thanks

Start checking by checking out some of the Dyno threads at N54tech.com or e90post.com in the turbo section, there are several "Head to Heads" of CAI, HAI, RAI, Scoops etc.
It will give you enough fodder for a return.
