COLD AIR INTAKE FOR 650I 4.4 bitubo
Does anyone make or offer an intake for the 2013 650I 4.4 turbo?
I used the search button and checked everywere on youtube, and google and no luck. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks |

Unless it's somehow good for the environment (cleaner air) then remove it. BTW, BMW air box are technically "cold air." Companies have tried to make aftermarket air boxes for the N63 with less, little, or no increase in power. The BMW air boxes are pretty efficient. Hopefully K&N will make drop in filters for the N63 soon. |

Don't get it, talk about a small market share. Can't understand why K&N makes drop in filters only for the M6 which is probably less than 5% of all 6'ers. |

I also took out the carbon filters. There is no intake other than Dinan that works right now, some people are trying to manufacture one-offs in hopes that they make power but so far they are back to the drawing board. I am personally working with AFE performance to make a set of drop in filters for a reasonable cost. There is a guy that will make you a set of filters but he wants like $400 and I understand cause he isn't making 10,000 sets but it's still too much when a company like AFE is already set up for it. By next week they should tell me when they can get something going and then if they need to they will use my car to test fit and then we can all get a set. They will also look into having an intake made but I wouldn't count on that for a while.

Unfortunately it seems that for now AFE is off the table. The tooling costs vs. demand is just not there so for now they are just making drop ins for the M cars and will hopefully re-visit the N63 down the road. Looks like we're back to square one. I will try and see what I can come up with on my own with some silicone and filter element material.

Your a good man for updating us even though it's not good news.
Just doesn't make sense. I would think demand for the M6 drop in would be way less than for all the 650i coupes, verts and 4 doors. |

That's what I said to them.. It also has to do with the complexity of the filters themselves and how hard it is to remove them, they are looking at how many people are going to open the airbox and peel out the filters and replace. K&N looks at it the same way, they also have nothing on the table. BMW made it tough so no one creeps up to M5/6 numbers.
