N55 BMS Intake Rub -- MAF Screw on Cowl

SkullV · 07-14-2016, 11:56 PM

Anyone else have an issue with their BMS intake where the upper MAF screw rubs on the cowl a bit? I won't get a chance to really get into adjustment until tomorrow but it seems that when I lower the "adjustment" screw on the bracket the intake sits too close to the motor and when it is at the top it is too close to the cowl (doesn't rub at all times but definitely makes contact on occasion). I stuck a piece of double sided tape in there as a cushion but hopefully there's an easy fix.

My BMS intake doesn't touch the cowl at all? Do you have the bracket mounted to the airbox to keep the intake secure?

I do. I'll try and take a photo of what I'm talking about today.

Took the whole cowl and intake apart today to do spark plugs and it seems like the problem is now resolved. Just needed a lot of adjustment.

Sweet!

What plugs did you go with? Are you tuned?

Just went with the Bosch replacement plugs (not BMW branded). I have the BMW PPK software but no other tune.
