Intake systems - Claimed power increases
A question I probably know the answer to. Does adding an intake like Dinan, Eventuri, etc actually help performance without a tune on an otherwise stock vehicle? My presumption is minimally if at all. Haven't seen anything definitive besides manufacturer dyno claims that seem to have a tune.

An intake does add power, but its minimal so you do not feel it. Its a really good mod since it has a slight power increase and major sound upgrade.
That being said if you are only after power, a tune, intercooler, downpipe, methanol injection will provide more value

Nothing a serious dyno or back to back quarter mile pull would show
But if done right, you can get some amazing sound from it More sound = Tricks the brain in thinking you're going faster |

Has anyone dyno'd their car with a stock intake and then after having an aftermarket intake on for at least a few weeks? I'm new to BMWs but some cars end up adapting to the intake and make stock power (or less) after it's been on for a while. How does the BMW ECU adapt?

Intakes do add power on the dyno, it nothing major and its for a short RPM range. If you are looking for a sound and cosmetic upgrade, get the intake. If you want power, you have other mods which offer more value.
