DCI for 335i

[Kruzo]

Hi Guys,

What are the pros and cons of going the DCI route for the 335 ?

Regards,

Depends what brand you opting for...

 

[Kruzo]

Not particular on brand, just want something that works.

I would say the Injen dci

I love that Injen.... but pricey!!!:dropjaw:

The injen is the nicest looking dci, but the bms one works the best!!
Its been tested on other forums!!!
And bms is more then half the price, basiclly you must just decide how much you whant to spend coz the differences are very small!

Do any of the above mentioned setups suffer from "heat soak" ?

After a lot of testing I would stay with the stock box. What kind of boost are you running? The DCI will only benefit if you are running 1.2bar+. If you decide its a must have go for a cheap solution, the expensive ones are all about window dressing. I got the aFe and I regret getting it, was a waste.
All the DCI's have heat soak problems because they are exposed to the engine bay, it does get cooler as you go along. The Injen though due to the piping being metal will most probably suffer more than a plastic tube type.

Same with me. I use the BMS drop in filter with stock box and it works great even at 15psi.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Stock box works but doesn't give you that nice sucking sound!
I only put mine on for that and I love it!!!

 

[Twinz]

Yebo...i also put the DCIs on for special days just for that sound.:thumbsup:

 

[Kruzo]

So I decided to stick with the stock box and just replaced OEM filter with a BMC filter.

 

[laloosh]

Also u might wanna the aftermarket flatpanel filter with the scoops.I've read that it does make a diff

Riss racing makes really nice ones!!!
Try vivid racing and modbargains they sell them!!!

Like any other turbo engine - under bonnet heat is a killer on the x35i

This negates any gains a cold air induction would have

Gruppe-M are the only company that make a full carbon kevlar setup but its very expensive ...

If you put bms dci on your car the volume of air that goes into the motor is more then stock so that makes the air cooler!!!
Heat is a bitch but there are products that work and have been tested and discussed endlessly!
