Guys, a little help.

It looks the part number will fit a variety of the 2 series including the M2.
Correct?

I read somewhere the brace on the M2 need some work for a correct fit?

Anyone have installation PDF?

For those that do have one, is it worth it?

Thanks.

I think there are install instructions on Dinan’s website.

The general consensus is no hp gain from any of the aftermarket intakes on the M2. Just changes the intake sound.

Real easy install. Cutting the brace is easy too with a Dremel. Whole install took me about an hour yesterday.



And yeah, not much gains for an intake on FI engines. Just for looks and sound really.


Installation instructions are HERE

BTW- It looks like if you leave the stock air box clips on, you may be able to use the OEM air filter instead of the K&N style filter that's included.

Don't know if it makes any difference but installing a Dinan intercooler. Curious if this intake would compliment it?

Honestly, I can't really hear the intake sound over my exhaust. I've got the Fabspeed sport cat and MPE and the combination of them drowns out the intake sound.

I've also got the full Dinan Stage 4. I'f you're not planning on going with the Dinan Stage 4, I'd go with another IC that doesn't require all the mods to the front end to make it fit.

Already ordered. Arriving this Monday. I don't mind working on my car. Rather enjoy it. It's all apart right now. Got some pics floating around on this forum.

Thanks for all the information.
