You could essentially make your own Euro airbox with your stock airbox. Delete the charcoal filter, and swap the paper filter for, hypothetically, a K&N filter. Then, the only major difference between the two would be in the filter design.
And the ridiculousness of replacing or even checking the air filter. Let's not forget that. I want the eurobox for the ease of maintenance. haha.

Yes. Yes you should. But I can't justify buying it for close to $500. I can get a performance exhaust for just a little over $100 more. It seems so unrealistic trying to find a used one.

Anyone who thinks they are getting anything from intake or exhaust is delusional.

Yes, who needs CAD, CFD, real engineering and thousands of hours of R&D, when one can just grab some PVC pipe and dryer hose down at Homey D.

Sorry for pull up an old thread, I did a search and couldn't find anything.

I know that ECS sells the euro air intake.
https://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E82-12...ake/ES2072577/

Does anyone know where I can buy the Euro BMW Performance air intake?

That's nothing. The best price I see for the North American version is $805.20 USD.
