I believe that they will all be similar and will all result in a small amount of additional HP that you won't notice anyway.
I think the real difference between the various brands will be sound and looks.
I chose the BMW Performance intake for the clean look and easy install.

Little throatier when you get to 3k and above.
I'd say subtle but noticeable.

From what Ive read it seems like the aFe pro 5 R intake gives a better sound than the BMW Performance intake.

The aFe that was on my car when I bought it was louder than the BMW Performance intake I have now.
Capo di tutti capi
Very happy with afe....and filters are not a concern.

Marcus, was the aFe's sound deeper than the BMW intake or throatier?

Louder in every way. Deeper and throatier.

most Intake won't give you much HP at all if any. Our intakes already pull Cold Air from the grill. I decided to make my own CAI.
Cost me around $100 because i had to buy some paint since i was not having a chrome tube intake.
I love the sound of it, and maybe it's a placebo affect, but i felt that it has a faster response and breathes better.:
