Looks like the Gruppy M intake. If the price point is the same, I'd rather get the Dinan intake.

I don't believe it's worth it, not from a performance point of view, just depends if you want to pay the money for the asthetics of lots of CF under the bonnet.....


I'm still confused by the thread title of M135, as I didn't think the M135 was being exported to North America.......and the product listings on that site doesn't list an intake for the M135......

here is a link from what you'd expect a decent price range to be on this

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/2...1-p-74283.html

It is indeed the Gruppe M Ram Air Intake

If the OP really does have a F20 M135 he'd be better off posting this thread in the F20 section rather than the E82/E88 section, unless of course he asking about whether a N54 intake will fit a M135.... which it won't

Yup, N54 intake won't fit M135. Why not get the BMS N55 intake?

Looks like it goes right over top of the oil cap, how convenient.

one would get more fun from stiffer sway bars and an M-performance enforced tune for the N55 when that is made available. please let it come soon 235kw and 450nm isn't enough anymore!
