Looking for plug and play fmic
Anybody using a Fmic on there 1m that requires no cutting and doesn't have the pressure drop of the wagner? Already tried mishimoto. That didn't fit. Or is wagner the way to go for using stock couplings?

Any particular reason you want to retain the stock fittings? I ask because they are restrictive and hurt performance.
FWIW, I run a Helix intercooler and am very pleased with it. Cobb also makes a superior intercooler. Neil |

In other words, it helps you retain power. And an intercooler without the stock fittings will do this better. I've always run the Helix and prefer the stepped design. Neil |

HPF, no cutting and good data, only disadvantage is the weight, however, that's also the design advantage.

I stand corrected, slight cutting on the 1M ONLY, just the sides where the OEM torx screws fit...no issues on my 135i, however, the 135 was trimmed to fit the Dinan, which was TOO big for the 1er. My HPF is now for sale as I do not want to cut anything
