Simota Cold Air Intake
Hey guys,
I was having a look at the Simota Cold Air Intake (for the n52) and it seems like a fairly new product, maybe something investing in as it is pretty cheap <$200 most cars it has been installed on are E90's however it still is for the n52 so it should fit correct? Just wanted your guys views/opinions on this product just to clarify this is not the same as the Simota Intake here is a picture to help |

Looks like it'll still fit our cars. Don't take my word for it but here's a pic of my engine bay with my injen if you wish to compare.

It would be nice if they made a true cold air intake for this car. I wonder if anyone has made anything along those lines. Short rams heat soak so much that it's almost not worth it (performance wise).

The stock air flow box from the kidneys does still supply nice fresh air, but i imagine that only helps at higher speeds. Regardless i only did it for the awesome intake note.

that Simota is just cheap, and not that new.
Ingen has the following benefits over Simota: Larger heat-shield that actually directs air to filter Smooth metal tube from filter/maf to throttle body Larger filter surface area, perhaps less chance of sucking hot air not much more expensive over this simota
