I recently returned my leased bmw f30, and after I had an AFE intake laying around. Once I received my M2, I realized the components under the hood look fairly similar. So I thew in this intake, and oh man this car now hisses and screams once the turbos spool. Just wanted to let all you know its a cool mod since it was just laying around in my garage!

Im assuming this is the AFE F chassis N55 magnum force intake ?

Most intake for the N55 F chassis should fit.
Burger Tuning one has been confirmed to fit as well

Any CELs?

[savagee_m2]

No CEL, and I don't see that happening too because the 2 plugs on the original intake fit on this one. And its just cool because it was for a different model the 2013 f30 335 xi and it fits perfectly!

Does the BMS intake not retain the 2 plugs? Is that the cause of the CEL?

Wait another 100 miles...

It does; and it still throws a CEL...

-c

[savagee_m2]

i really don't expect a CEL since i already drove over 250 miles with this new intake, but if i get one i wouldn't care because that will be present when i get a catless downpipe.

Reviving a stale thread, did you ever get a CEL after throwing on the AFE?

[toastie]

savagee_m2 was this the intake you threw on?

BMS intake worked on my M235i for over 2 years and about 4000-5000 miles and it never gave me any trouble. Installed it on the M2 and within 20 miles got a check engine light. Seems like that one particular intake is super picky with what engines it likes.

NO CEL!!! it won't happen to me. I installed it and attached the sensor to the intake... no problems

Any updates on whether or not the CEL ever came on?

[twin fed]

curious too

No haha, car is running and sounding great. recently I purchased a catless dp so I ended up buying a jb4 to maximize results.

Thanks man. How many miles did you drive CEL-free before adding the JB4?

Are you able to post a short vid so we can hear it (intake)?

Also...what are the gains from the JB4 for the M2 on N55? I ask because I have an N55 + MPPK in my '14 335 and I'm told a JB4 would give 40-ish hp gain on top of that...but if the M2 with the N55 is already giving +40 HP on its factory "tune" over the N55 I have, then how much more can a JB4 for the M2 add on top of that?? What am I missing?

[DKX4///M]

Weird, I only have one electrical plug (a MAF) on my stock intake, switched the one sensor to my BMS and drove it for weeks no CEL....Few drive cycles after dp then I got it...But got bef jb4 stack now...

BMS intake really gave alll u guys lights? and what code?

[LBBDrew]

DKM3Power how do you like the sound of the intake with the exhaust? I love my exhaust note and i don't want the induction noise to completely overpower the exhaust (I have an injen intake ordered and i imagine will sound very similar to BMS).

[DKX4///M]

The stock exhaust sounded great with VRSF test pipe...Now after the dp I have a y pipe and a boost activated valve that basically bypasses entire exhaust, It doesnt sound good...Loud? yes Powerful? Yes...Faster than before? Def...Less Lag? No lag...But its just the sound of open 3" exhaust...

Considering a good exhaust system so when closed it has a nice tuned sound to it...or doing a 3 to 2.5" reducer to "tighten the sound a bit, I doubt itll raise back pressure...

Benefit is when driving very conservatively (valve begins opening at 2 psi and fully opened at 6psi) the car sounds stock...Then WOT and it sounds like an external wastegate but louder....

Considering running all the mods Il have shortly getting spent air out fast will give me tremendous gains and no lag, so its worth a little sloppyness in the sound to me personally...

I will say injen will sound like BMS...Im looking to sell BMS and go Injen, but even with screaming exhaust turbo is still super loud...so i wouldnt worry...

Most N55 components coldside should work...
