Intake or BMS Powerbox?
I love the car, just wish it had a little more "go" to it. I know neither will make the car a lot faster. Any opinions on which I should get the BMS Powerbox or some sort of intake?

I can install and uninstall my JB+ in about 90 seconds at this point. It might take a new user a little while to get the hang of the install/uninstall on the power box, but once you get used to it, it's really second nature. Anyway, back to OP's question. Power box doesn't give you OUTRIGHT power, but having driven in a car with the power box installed, it definitely FEELS much more powerful and responsive. The intake will give you a bit of a performance boost, and it'll make your engine sound really nice when you rev, but for the biggest difference in how the car feels, take the box! (But really do both.. you know you wanna)

There seems to be some confusion on what is available. The non-Turbo models (128i in this case) can only use the PowerBox. The JB3 system is for the turbo models (N54 135, 335 and 535).

I have a 128 and have the injen intake installed. Speed wise i barely feel any difference but sound wise i do. With the intake you will feel a more fierce and aggresive sound basically
