Howard_silver Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago He never used it, but I bought his 2016 M135i nevertheless. My M135i already has a stage 1 remap and an upgraded exhaust, but I'm looking to do some DIY upgrades. I'm starting small, having the wheels refurbed and switching to black badges, but I'm hoping to add an induction kit soon. Has anyone here installed one? I'd love to hear your thoughts and advice on whether or not it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyTom Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago They don't accomplish anything except make induction noise, so I wouldn't squander my money on one. Instead of the regular air box and paper filter, I would expect to see them in M cars if they delivered any sort of performance boost. The plastic boost pipes, particularly those that attach to the throttle body, are prone to failure; I've replaced multiple of them due to spring clip failure and blowoffs, therefore I would recommend upgrading your N55's boost pipes instead.

Howard_silver Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago Thanks, man! I figured the M division would find a way to accommodate them in the plant if they were really influential. Thank you for the information about the boost pipe. Do you know where I can acquire one? I will investigate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyTom Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Having fitted vrsf, forge, and mishimoto before, I can tell you that they are all pretty much the same; let pricing be your guiding factor. I have also completed the boost pipe from the other side of the intercooler all the way to the turbo, but the most important one is the charge pipe that goes from the intercooler to the throttle body. Although the charge pipe is easier to change, this one is more complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
