I can feel a difference in the car, it breathes better, revs faster and enhances my exhaust sound. you can hear the air being sucked in when you push the car (for me around 3k rpms and up). You also hear it at freeway speeds so its not a quiet car anymore at those speeds, but i love it reguardless.
My car seems to makes less power than 330 in the ad on the 1st page. I am sure it has to do with no chip tunning to make full use of the intake and the exhaust? Or perhaps my exhaust gave me no hp to begin with and could explain why magnaflow hasnt released it? Magnaflow never gave me any dyno sheets of before and after they installed their system. Was it easy to install, i didnt install it, injen did it for me. I installed a cold intake on my 318is long ago and it was cake to install. This one seems a bit more complicated in that it has a heat shield you have to deal with and a bit less space to work with. SP1121 seems to be the part number and injen has a list of authorized dealers you guys can purchuse from. However i would be warry since i dont know if the 330/328i heat shield will fit our 128's. |

The more the bigger the bulk the cheaper the sale, of course with a certain point of diminishing returns .
if someone can confirm that the heatsink will fit and work for the 128i easily then i guess we can start a groupbuy... |

Interesting to see on the dyno graph there is actually a loss of power, quite substantial before approx 3000 rpm. That could be the trade-off for installing the air intake, as it would almost certainly affect drivability at low rpm

Taken from injens website
"In 1999 Injen designed the first urethane filter with a built in velocity stack for added performance. The Injen Technology Research and Development Team calculates each filters mesh and pleat count for each specific application during the development stages. The Injen cotton gauze element allows cleaning and durability for 1000's of miles to come." Looks like cotten and not paper or foam. Wouldnt use either in my car. It is also a dry filter so you dont have to oil it up like K&N filter, the oiled filters seems to have cause problems clogged others engines. Emailed Injen To see if the heatshield is the same as the e90's |

We are looking for a local 128i to take pictures and get some reviews if anyone is interested. Also, we can do a GB or even just a buy at much lower price, but WE would like to find out if it fits first, as we had ordered this for the 330i / 328i.

do we have to order the heat shield seperatly, or does it come with the injen? Without the heat shield the injen is useless, and will probably result in a loss of power.

I just emailed autoaccessoriesgarage.com to see if they can confirm a guarantee fit for both the shield and intake itself. I, of course, asked whether the heat shield was included.
Are there any other places besides http://www.autoaccessoriesgarage.com...ystem&selSort= that people have found for me to inquire for the same details and possible group buy? found one on google... http://www.autocarparts.com/part/1672/1870/ Aww injen won't sell directly... "Sorry, we do not sell direct to the public. You may contact any authorized dealer to assist you. For a dealer nearest you visit our Dealer List on the Website." |
