AFE IntakeWorth It?
Hi All,
I a full bolt on M235i with a BMS intake but I'm wondering if the AFE Stage 2 SI Intake would be worth swapping that out for? It seems like these intakes are a bit more finished and I'm just curious for opinions. I appreciate the input in advance.

I brought up the same question sort of when shopping around for my intake and what I took from it was the main difference between intakes was the open box versus closed box. I finally settled on the aFe Magnum, though originally I was going to go with the Momentum. It was recommended to me that if I wanted to save a bit of money then go with the BMS intake, but if I were looking for something that looked a bit better under the hood, go with aFe Magnum. Hope this helps a bit.

One owner with the BMS Intake loss power when he installed the Dinan Stage 1. Might be how the tuning for the Dinan was programmed though. I run the aFe Momentum and think it was the best choice, as bias as that is.

If I had neither I would go and went with the AFE. If I had already spent the cash on the BMS I would not throw any more money at it.
Perhaps it is time to throw it on a dyno, get some data logs and add some corn?

Thanks for the input guys. I'll probably hold on to it for now and we shall see down the line.
