Also, a lot of aftermarket intakes leave their filtration element exposed in the engine bay, which will cause the engine to suffer from heat soak if you are not travelling fast enough to supply sufficient cool air. I say, get your car first, get used to it, spend your money on improving your driving ability, only then decide on increasing the performance of your car. |

If you really want to change some bits from the start, think about a good exhaust, stickier tires, track wheels if you plan to track it or keep yourself playing with certain exterior and interior mods, since there is a lot of space for improvement and personalization in those areas. You don't need to mod every technical aspect of 1M, it comes pretty good out of the box like any M car. |

You can clearly see from the pictures which one is more expensive to make. AFE are taking people for a ride to be honest. Last edited by mlhj83; 08-19-2012 at 08:45 PM.. |

any unsealed intake system is going to give you "better sound"over a sealed intake system like your stock set up and if that's what your going for just slap on some DCI's from BMS for 90 dollars.

But first and foremost: once you get your hands on a 1M, drive it.
As others will testify too: already stock it's quite a powerful motoring handgun.

Im really tried to restrain myself but a 1M intake thread whose entire premise is "which has the best air sucking sound"..... SMH
At least you have great taste in cars.... And props to those who took the time to put some real advice on the table! |
