Good find Tony. I probably would've bought it had I not bought an AFE

I get the whole OEM thing, but I think the Performance Airbox is overrated. Look at how all these guys jump on it!

Yeah, overrated. Just like how the performance strut bar is overrated. People still get them anyway because they're rare and cool-as-hell OEM parts.

I got my strut bar because it's hands down the best looking strut bar out there IMO. I'm sure there are folks who think this air box is the best looking one as well in their eyes. Who knows.

It's nice to look at, that's for sure.

As far as output goes it's ranked up there with the best as well. Albeit we all know we're not going to get huge gains out of an intake. The performance intake is the best looking intake out there.

Yeah I have to say I did notice a pretty decent difference between the afe oiled I was running compare to this oem performance intake. I will probably do a icv cleaning before winter to make sure everything checks out.

I would buy it. Looks cool and it is a factory upgrade.

Saying that is overrated is a little bit absurd.

I use to wonder what all the hype was about BMW Performance items until I seen Randos! That strut bar is a work of art and its soooo dam light!!!

Drool....

Sure you can say they are "overrated" and that might not be far off. However, the perf intake gives +7 (to +10) HP (even though you don't feel it), looks cool as hell (like you said), and is OEM. (BMW under-rates the HP at +3). The strut bar is pure eye candy, is feather-weight, and again OEM. You could pick it up with 2 fingers, and it helps prevent mushrooming. Combined, it makes the engine a looker, so yeah, I can see why they'd want it. Especially that it's "rare" now. Gotten at a good price, it's worth it IMHO. At the original or high resale prices of today, that would be a tough one.

EDIT: Thanks Gary, didn't see your post.

No Prob, if you ever come across that deal again just remember who doesn't have one. LoL...
