@eclaxton - I believe it is in the M-performance catalog for the M235i. However, it shows up as "TBD" so it doesn't seem like there is a solid part number for it yet. Once my exhaust was broken in coupled with the downpipe, it sounds WAY better than in the videos. Also, here is a link to the parts for future reference: http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=965694

@Chunner - Its already obvious we both have different views on this and you're more concerned about intake air temperatures while I am looking for the ability to move a higher volume of air at higher boost. I already understand the air will be hotter and never doubted that. I've only stated that it will be potentially less hot than it can be with the heatshield and air duct still in place. But my view still stands, along with the bunch of boosted BMW dynosheets that the intake does make extra ponies with the hood up or down. If you are that into the IAT, you may check out the BMS website where they've done extensive testing on the "hot air myth" and made a thread about it with actual relevant data. If you want to solidify your beliefs, I suggest you do the same instead of just posting up a video from YouTube .

@secono330ci - Here's a dyno sheet of the BMS intake with the hood down. It doesn't look like it comes from only the hood up .
