In the quest to gradually modify my 35i with a few choice parts I installed a Burger Motorsport dual cone intake system on the car this afternoon.
Feedback is mixed, some claim it suffers from heat soak, others say it's a great mod on mapped vehicle (mine is remapped).
Installation was incredibly simple, 10 minute job and easier than a 335i due to more space - anyone could do it. The intakes are very well made, come with nicely finished aluminium tubes and are already oiled with S&B red oil (hence the colour).
Performance? Well it certainly has more in take noise with a more pronounced woosh as you accelerate. Personal taste but I enjoy the sound and is the main reason for the purchase. The car really feels the same, perhaps marginally sharper response with turbos feeling to spool a fraction quicker. Ground breaking? Absolutely not but they look fantastic, add a little more drama to the noise and for £120 delivered it's a very cheap modification. Photo below was taken before reinstalling the air snorkel.
I'll see how it goes over the next week and give a better review.
