That shroud most likely sits directly on top of the stock IC. Without anything to sit on top of, I wonder if it flaps and vibrates at highway speed.
are you happy w/ the performance of the ER?

I do not think so, it's pretty well attached.
I am still in the middle of installing it, everything is off but I found that a bracket was broken [1] so I am waiting on the part before putting everything back together with the ER FMIC. So I cannot tell you how it performs but the fit and finish of the entire kit is top notch. [1]: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...6&postcount=41 |

I don't know about that - it was spaced out for the radiator, but the ER intercooler sits closer and occupies most of that space. On my car - there isn't really any way ducting could work without blocking the top half of the intercooler.

Yeah I personally would likely also try to keep that pc that scoops some air into the back of the bumper. Seems to make sense, even though could be "insignificant".

How much better performance does the VRSF race provide over their 6.5 comp?
Considering following M2guru in swapping from CSF to VRSF and in deciding if the extra bs involved in the Race is worth the hassle. |

The Race is better - the frontal surface area does all the heavy lifting when it comes to cooling.

On the VRSF website, the "race" isn't listed as for the M2. I assume it's a bit of a custom fit? Piping, too, or just the brace? Maybe I missed that somewhere in all the posts. I may consider that one instead...hmmm...

I think what I will do is just run the 6.5" for a while to get data and if I feel like it's not cooling the IAT enough then make the move to the race. My purchase of coilovers keeps getting pushed back every year... :-( |

I wouldn’t be too surprised if the cooling increase is just marginal over the CSF though, as the comp isn’t as tall - it may be a tight squeeze and require you to use washers to space out the brace (just eyeballing it) I’d support a go fund me - love data |
