If you want to install the scoops, just buy the CYBA one's. They are the cheapest on the market and will do the same job. You can find his listings in Commercial Sales section.

yes buy Cyba scoops, if you want scoops ( only 3 hp after 100km/h speed): http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=458500

Yes buy K&N oiled filter for your original european airbox and some electronic contacts cleaner/ MAF sensor cleaner incase you need to clean your MAF. recommended if you buy K&N oiled filter

or any other filter that i mentioned( BMW performance dry filter, AFE dry filter)


EDIT:
I love my Dry aFe euro filter inside my EuroBox

Andrey What do you think of the intake system Simota CBII (CB2) Carbon Fiber Intake System (CBII-914)?

[Slava111]

Barring rasschet money! Andrew what would you advise me to choose? Yet inlet injen or still do as you only replace the filter? I'm just trying not to hurt the motor and get the maximum gain and the sound of the horses! Thanks for the tip!

Simota CBII is the same as Ingen, same idea, but cheaper ( it has no metal pipe to throttle body.

I think Ingen has an oiled filter, so you will need to clean it and spray new oil. this is the same as any K&N filter, or oiled aFe. With any oiled filters it is recommended to buy cleaner for electronics contacts, also sold as MAF cleaner ( look here for example Link to MAF cleaner )

If you cannot find this spray where you live, I dont recommend you buy anything with an oiled filter. In that case you must select Dry filter. I hope Ingen sells one too.

For maximum sound and maybe the best performance in the perfect weather: Ingen, do not recommend Simota CBII, its too small of a solution ( just a filter)

For performance in hot weather and city traffic, people recommend closed box intake so that you dont breathe hot air. You are lucky to have 125i in Europe, your original airbox is already have the system that is alot like aFe Magnum Si

So if money is not important, in this order:
1) get a chip tune for your 125i to make it close to 130i power, cost will be close to $1000 ( no intake system will do this much horsepower)
2) buy complete BMW performance 125i/130i ($700), Simota for 130i ($750) (Link Simota)
3) Cyba scoops for extra 2 horespower

If money is important but you want the best sound & to copy Simota for 130i,
1) Buy a filter from K&N Part# E-2022 ($50 , but only if you can find electronics cleaner), if you cant find cleaner, buy BMW performance Filter 13710445636 ( $100+) or AFe dry Part # 11-10111 ($70)
2) please cut: http://www.babybmw.net/viewtopic.php...b0e4ea9fb977dc
3) Cyba scoops for extra 2 horespower

Just changing filter can be enough, and you should start here before you cut your air box.

Good luck. I am repeating my self too much
Believe me, I thought about every option possible and learned that there is not much difference except the price and how pretty it looks

To clarify the injen intake has a dry filter and an oiled filter! i have the blue dry filter on mine and its great.

^^Awesome , I didn't know that.

Andrew thank you very much for the advice! I read many reviews about the injen intake on this forum, the positive reviews as well as the owners of 128 125. I decided to try it! injen supplied with dry blue filter and a heat shield! I hope to be content! if not then I'll go your way with Duct 125! put everything, I will write a review here!

Isn't the bmw perf filter (euro) the same as the e-2022? Btw I bought that euro and installed it. Just looking for a filter.

[andrey_gta]

E2202 from k&n is oiled
BMW euro perf is not oiled

Alternatives are afe dry and piper cross piled from Ecs tunning

I ordered my afe from amazon to canda. Came out okay price.

Also dry is the preferred choice here because it's not oiled

Others order 2 of k&n so that they can cycle it between cleanings

Oh i didn't know that, i thought the bmw performance filter is a k&n itself, does the bmw performance filter have a k&n logo or trademark on it? i got a Euro N52 engine so i got the Euro air box, confused which air filter i should go for? k&n oiled or bmw performance one which is dry

Thanks..

[631twentyeighteye]

Always go for dry IMO. If you over oil it by accident the oil can ruin the MAF sensor. no sense in an unnecessary risk.

I'm pretty sure the Euro performance filter is oiled. Mine at least came with one and I tossed it for the dry normal Euro filter.

BMW perf filter is ultra expensive for what it is. You are better off with aFe dry for price.

The info i'm getting is from babybmw forums. Also BMW does not give a recharge kit for its filter as part of the complete euro perf intake system.

Did you get aFe Dry or the actual BMW round regular paper filter

Thanks..

Both were OE BMW. One was the round Euro Perf filter which was oiled, while the other was the stock Euro filter, which was dry. I opted for the dry.

[insane79]

So the bmw performance filter(dry one) will fit in my stock euro air box just fine?

Thanks..

I would recommend the injen intake. I've had it on my 128i for about eight months now and I couldn't be happier with it. Great sound, easy install, and no issues whatsoever.
