I have a K&N intake if you want it. Used it on my X3 35i, but that car is gone. Sounds great, not great power. Major heat soak. I bet the MST would perform the best. It relocates the intake to the corner behind the headlight and gets rid of all the piping over the engine and turbo.
Dropped the K&N panel and mine and never looked back. The intakes and charge pipes on the BMW X3 M40i B58 engine are already pretty much maxed out. Not into hot air.
Hello Burger Motorsports, i liked that, u sounded honest, and i`ve heard the same results before, i`m putting my oem back in to check the feel it feel better than the afe takeda momentum, afe felt better top end, but weak out of the hole. thank you.
I always like what ever intake that suck air directly from out side and closed box all those open ones they suck air from engine compartment at high speed they bad for you and keep in mind with closed intake box the faster you go the more fresh air you force in the engine and it will not escape in the engine bay that’s what called cold “intake” that’s why dinan all there intakes design closed
@@nichollsboy11 😀😀😀 but bro i understand.....im just correcting him. He said it give no hp....also the open air sounfs good but bro....that thi g is getting crazy heat soak. I drove normal n my engine is like a furnace....so imagine
@@ThicGarage Let me explain it to you guys !for the turbo car, No matter how hot it is around your air intake system, air Start with your turbo (The turbine itself is super hot )to intercooler and to charge pipe to throttle! So the most important thing is that you have a high performance intercooler，Instead of needing the most expensive intake system！
Great video I’m stage 2, downpipe cat less, charge pipe upgrade. What intake do you recommend ? I am concerned about the BMS since everyone saying that it will suck in hot air
The problem I have with all the dyno results the companies use with the intakes is that the runs are done with the hood up, but with the hood closed the burger unit sucks in so much hot air.
@@ThicGarage Shouldn't the charge temp be what you are focusing on? We're judging turbo engines (intercooled) against NA standards (direct to manifold).
@@Shift4g Yeah exactly. It doesn’t matter if the air temp is 10* or so hotter. The turbos will cool the air anyways. The BMS cold air is good to remove the factory air box restrictions. I run the BMS dual cone setup.
good test. i'm not a fan of any open element filter sucking hot air from under the hood. ya they sound cool but as those temps increase, power goes down. i stuck a k&n in my stock box on my 235i and called it a day.
I know this was awhile ago, but from your experience was AFe worth the 500 bucks? or would you have rather saved the money and just bought a K&N drop in filter. I’m trying to see if the performance gains are worth 500 bucks
This is the n55 engine and doesn’t have the BOV located in the same area as the N54. I could see where the tial BOV off the chargepipe could get in the way on the n54
Are you going to stick with the Afe intake or just do a drop in air filter with the stock air box? Do you also think a oil catch can is necessary to have on the n55 engine? Thanks great videos.
ThicGarage awesome man. Love the channel! I am starting my full bolt on for my 2016 535i f10. I will watch your new down pipe video. My car now has a lot of drown with the megan exhaust and resonator delete.
You would have to check AFE website to see if they have for your vehicle but after comparing the three, I believe the stock unit with a K&N drop in filter would perform just as well
Your turbo PSI cannot be that high stock is like 10 and with stage 2 plus you might hit 19 so whatever app you're using is giving you a full screening lol
Ahhh Last video I was questioning the boost PSI when you said it was around 30. I get it now. Your gauge is showing absolute pressure. The atmospheric pressure is around 15 and the actual turbo is creating 15 added psi for a total of 30 psi. You’ll find that different apps and logs will show things a bit different and this is one of them. Our car with stock turbos can safely reach around 20 psi and Bootmod3 for example on stage 2 gets the target for 17.2. Even at a target like this I’ll see a peak of around 21.3ish
One last thing about our cars and the turbo. They tend to fall on their face above 5200 rpm. So I see often boost going from 19 down to 16 and at times lower. I believe in stock form the car is set to reach a peak boost of 12ish psi and designed to be able to hold 9 psi across the entire rev range. (You might seem thing when you branch off and start using different tunes and data logging)

Glad to see more of Evan in the video! Also I 100% agree, BMW makes an amazing air box and just dropping in an aftermarket filter works wonders 👏
You should definitely make a video on the k&n drop in filter with the stock intake box ✊🏿
Facts bc I’m torn between a “cold air intake” and just buying a k&n filter
Did u guys ever find out which is better
Compare one with the stock and a k&n and the stock times
They’re not worth it, if you watch Project Farms Air Filter comparison the aftermarket units all sacrifice filtering for performance.
I have a K&N intake if you want it. Used it on my X3 35i, but that car is gone. Sounds great, not great power. Major heat soak.

Great info! Your channel is definitely helping F10 owners save $$$. Thanks for sharing!
Go aFe Pro Dry drop-in. No oil.
Dropped the K&N panel and mine and never looked back. The intakes and charge pipes on the BMW X3 M40i B58 engine are already pretty much maxed out. Not into hot air.
Cool! Father and son duos!
Love the father/son duo. Great video!

I think the oem unit with a K&N filter would work just as good as the AFE
So basically kn n drop in filter in the BMW stock airbox. Should be the cheapest and better than stock numbers and keep that temp down
Yes after doing these test I think just upgrading the stock filter will be the best option for performance and most cost effective.
Great video! Nailed the transitions and the data presentation was awesome!
I agree with you stock with K&N filter will do the best.
And most cost effective
@@ThicGarage what about the oil that goes on the maf sensor?
Looking forward to the Florida content 👍
I concluded i'm staying stock on my 115k mi N55 even though i have MPE , MPPK and VRSF charge pipe.
Great video! Did you ever end up testing stock with a high flow filter?
The boys aint letting you down . Here from tiktok
Really good comparison, I was always wondering about the heat gain with BMS intake. Now I'm going to go with K&N or AFe
@Equizz Gezzy K&N is just a drop in filter, but it’s less than $100
Did you end up with a KN filter? Does it sound better, do you hear any difference?
Bimmerhuafperformance is the way to go

I went with the K&N drop in. Can’t go wrong with that.
More of a maintenance upgrade.. the drop in filters give really no hp gains
@@chrislee9941 nah you wrong. It was proven on engineer explained. He got up to 5 hp
Chris Lee actually the K&N probably gives the most gains out of all of these filters. Its all about that IAT.
@@ACURACALABAR11 you realize you'll never feel a 5hp upgrade 😂, go with an open filter you'll hear the turbo spool and bov twice as loud
@@nichollsboy11 😀😀😀 but bro i understand.....im just correcting him. He said it give no hp....also the open air sounfs good but bro....that thi g is getting crazy heat soak. I drove normal n my engine is like a furnace....so imagine
A month ago I thought you just had reached 1k subs now youve rocketed to 11k congrats guys
Proud of these guys.

The incline from both draggy results are enough to make an impact to the overall numbers imho
Great video I’m stage 2, downpipe cat less, charge pipe upgrade. What intake do you recommend ? I am concerned about the BMS since everyone saying that it will suck in hot air
Did you decide what to go with ? I heard the BMS is pretty good including performance
Stock with K&N drop in
Heat wrap your downpipe
I love your project, guys!
The problem I have with all the dyno results the companies use with the intakes is that the runs are done with the hood up, but with the hood closed the burger unit sucks in so much hot air.

Bro, you need to go check out MST intake for F10 535i
What gap are you running with your spark plugs?
The boys got you bro 👊

Best way to do it !
Any slight sound increase?. Im
Also not a fan of open filters exposed to engine heat
@@e46m54nissansr20937 yes definetly!
TikTok got you brother
I know this was awhile ago, but from your experience was AFe worth the 500 bucks? or would you have rather saved the money and just bought a K&N drop in filter. I’m trying to see if the performance gains are worth 500 bucks
K&N drop in for sure
clean build👌
Here from Tik tok💯
I like the stock one tbh 😛
Ayyy saw the tik tok, do yo thangg
Hi i came from TikTok 13k! On the TikTok
It said 1,3k crazy
I wonder which afe filter was used... wet or dry...
Dry
but does the tial bov get in way of AFE with stock front snorkle ?
This is the n55 engine and doesn’t have the BOV located in the same area as the N54. I could see where the tial BOV off the chargepipe could get in the way on the n54
does the afe sound as good as the burger
No but better performance in my opinion
Yo i saw that fist bump dis lol
Are you going to stick with the Afe intake or just do a drop in air filter with the stock air box? Do you also think a oil catch can is necessary to have on the n55 engine? Thanks great videos.
I’m sticking with it for now. The n55 isn’t as common to the carbon buildup as the n54 but it does help capture the blow by.
ThicGarage awesome man. Love the channel! I am starting my full bolt on for my 2016 535i f10. I will watch your new down pipe video. My car now has a lot of drown with the megan exhaust and resonator delete.
Lots of good proveable science. The one dislike is BS
Do you have upgraded intercooler?
No but it’s coming soon
@@ThicGarage Those iat's will decrease a lot!
You guys having any meet ups in FL?
No just vacation. Won’t have the car with me.
ThicGarage o gotcha, great video. I might just save money and get a drop in filter now from this video.
What intake can I run on BMW X3 28D? Idk if the same parts apply to diesel.
You would have to check AFE website to see if they have for your vehicle but after comparing the three, I believe the stock unit with a K&N drop in filter would perform just as well
Subed from a tiktok xd
How u get the m sport decals for the calipers ?..
ebay has them
I’m surprised than even with those mods it’s slower than my bone stock X4 35d.
Isnt that AWD with diesel torque though?
AFE it is
