Unfortunately it requires FMIC and increased oil cooler to off set elimination of secondary radiator and even though they told me directly that it was due out some time ago, still does not seem available.
Why promote something that may not even make it to market? Dinan has made some great intakes, but I don't see many 1M owners willing to modify their stock cooling system in order to install the Dinan unless there were proven significant gains with the intake alone. Also, the purpose of a CAI is to reduce IAT, so why would an upgraded FMIC be required?
