Which one Gents?

There's probably like 50 threads regarding tunes at this point. BPC, AA, or Evolve. Take your pick.

Don't bother unless you're going to get a 3 stage intake. The part you need is a factory BMW piece put onto the 330i, Z4, X5, etc. (the "high output" N52) so even if you don't like modding parts this one is easy to justify - no shoddy aftermarket reliability/fitment here.

Just did it, used manifold sourced by the local AA dealer + tune. Very nice upgrade, better bottom end and very strong pull up top. Engine sounds just a little bit angry now at higher rpm - sounds great.
