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

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!

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

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

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.

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.
