Cold Air Intake help
I noticed that on my 525i the air intake box is quite restrictive. Does anyone have some inexpensive suggestions as to how to make it more free flowing ??? Can I just leave the front part of the box off without damaging anything??? Also, any links or suggestions on converting to cold air intake? Thanks!!!

I can't comment on the benefit for an E34, but on my E39 I definitely have increased throttle response with my Benfer Performance CAI installed. The stock intake is a really funky shape with all kinds of twists and bends in it and varying widths along the path to the filter. The benfer puts the filter behind the front bumper and has a direct path, same diameter, right to the MAF. And it produces an intoxicating growl at WOT.
More HP? I am not sure, but my butt dyno likes it alot. Installing it made the fun factor go up a notch, definitely.
