    If I hadn't just bought my BMW Performance intake from a member here, I would probably have scooped this.

    How much horsepower increase would this be with stock exhaust? Very interested.

    As I understand it, most intakes have pretty much negligible increases in horsepower or torque. Maybe 1-5 hp and/or ft-lbs at best, decreases in power and torque at worst.

    BMW claims their performance intake increases power by 3 hp at 6,000 rpm. Not sure what GruppeM's claims are.

    Back up to the usual 22-24 city now...but WAS down to 16-17 for the week or so after install. So, no it definitely doesn't affect usual driving mileage, but you will want to put your foot down during the honeymoon period!!

    Definitely worth it.

    This is not an intake you get for power. Hell, any intake for a naturally aspirated BMW shouldn't be purchased for power. It should be purchased for sound. That is one thing the GruppeM delivers in spades. The sound that is so intoxicating that you'd want to marry it; the sound that's so intoxicating that you'd want to get on the highway and just drive by Jersey barriers all day at WOT; the sound that's so intoxicating that you'll have insomnia at night from thinking about how amazing the sound is, only to get out of bed to drive around for a while; the sound that's so intoxicating that you are signing into your PayPal account as you remember these words that you just finished reading.
