This is amazing and can't wait to try it ...thank you so much for having a channel that deals with our 550's

My man, because of your video, there is no silicone hoses left on amazon🤦🏻‍♂️

Actually the stock intake is just fine. All that one needs to do is put a 90 degree thermostat and reprogram the DME so the coolant temperature runs at 90 degrees instead of 105 degrees. It will result in less heat soak (which these N63s are known for). BMW programs the ECU on V8 motors to run really hot because it gets 1 MPG more but in the long run ruins all of the seals, gaskets and melts plastic parts.

I want to thank you so much for this video, I sure did not want to spend $1,300 on the same exact system from those other companies. Also don’t listen to those guys telling u not to do.

Nice clean installation! I appreciate the care to heat-bend the plastic panel so you have the option to restore it to OEM in the future. Nothing worse that a BMW attacked by a Sawzall

Thank you 🙏 i was searching for another obstacle for a cold i take. I also have a BMW 550I M Sport. Thanks

Thanks for the video!!! Just did mine , it sounds great !! I just made a hole in the U silicone tubes for the maf sensors

After watching your video ... I want to do this to my f02 bmw also .. thanks for all your videos

I was pretty good at diy mods for my 335i n54 but after hitting a wild animal and totaling it out, I decided to get a 750i. I must admit I was intimidated about doing any mods to it but after seeing your video, I am getting the fever again.

Excellent, well done videos. Keep them coming. Learning alot for my 650i. 👍👍👍

Thank you so much because I have a n63tu and legit no one has any types of videos

Dude you're seriously the best, I can't thank you enough. About 3 of the things you have done in your videos are things I've been debating since I got mine last year but you got me off the fence 1000%. I have the exact same model/year/etc. Course, wish I would've gotten the XDrive version but hey, can't win em all. I did have one question, I'm getting ready to do the install of the JB4 this weekend, I am sure you are busy like anyone else but WHEN are you going to do the BCM install video? :) Again man, best video's I've seen for our model by far, super super super impressed.

Only works up until you face some muddy conditions, so do that only if you're living in soft, dry climate like the author of this vid.

Great mod, but you didn't give the measurements for the carbon fiber angled pipes. Can you please provide the measurements thanks alot.

Does this actually net any real gain in performance? The size difference in the factory tubing and the fact it already draws air from the same location makes me wonder if you get any gains whatsoever. Would be awesome to see a head to head comparison on a dyno. I'm sure it sounds a bit different without the airbox though. I just wouldn't want to waste money on a mod that doesn't net any gains and have to fuss with fitment issues. Not saying anything against this buildup, its very cool! But I'd love to see some numbers if possible.

Amazing detail to the install and looks like I’m gonna do the same. Thanks

Great video. Can u make another video to elaborate more on the parts required for this build. Especially the carbon fiber straight pipes. Watch ur video twice and u mentioned cutting thw carbon in 1/2. Thanks

Might do this for my 750i. Didn't know you could bypass the MAFs with JB4.

The guy who build the frontend in the plant in a fixture to align all the parts just ripped out his own hair after seeing this video :)

Great DIY video. I would've done this too but I'm not too keen on having exposed filter on my daily driver.

Hi I was wondering if you could do a parts list for me, I’d love to try this intake

Looking forward to more videos, I’m planning to get a 550i with the n63tu motor

Unless you have a custom tune that takes advantage of the lower watergate duty cycle from the added airflow, youll see no gains and only maybe better throttle response. All ots maps target a predetermined temp

Do you have a link where you bought the parts to build your custom cold air intake. I read the comments but no where do I see the description or sources. Thanks in advance. Video is dope and very helpful.

Amazing Job!

Wow. You shot this... it's a wicked sikk set up. I've been debating on how to do this & trying to do this to mine but cant figure out what inlets could hold the maf sensor in place, let alone trying to find u shape silicones (all sold out everywhere I look). I've ordered that strut bar you did & I've ordered those arm downpipes just gotta do this dyi cold air intake.

That motor runs so hot that it cooks everything near it. You'll have to pay for it twice just so you can talk about it. I'm an old school guy with an E39 540i 6/sport with the 6-speed G420 Getrag and I do my own maintenance because it's not that hard.

Very nice video and solution. I think it's the best way of making that I've seen so far. I want to replicate this but I'm really worried about the rain and moisture entering the engine through these. Have you had any issues with that? And thank you for making that video for us.

@ 4:30. LMAO

ARM Motorsports has a front facing upgrade option for their cold air intake system. Selling for $550

I could be missing it, but there was a sensor removed from the intake housings that have now been removed. I did not see that get relocated. Just wondering how that was handled.

How much did the parts cost for this all together?

would this be the same for a 2011 550i?

Can you give Inner dimension and outer dimensions of piping used. Or 3inch fit inside 3"?

great, i will do this, where may i buy this?

That's a nice set up! I have the same motor, but I'm still using my mass airflow sensors. Is there a special pipe I can use to keep my sensors? Everything else seems to workout well... Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Great vidoe man I just bought my first bmw it's a 650i with n63tu motor I was wondering about the carbon fiber tunes are they 3 inch as well or did u drop them down to 2.75" or something it doesn't say the exact measurements for that in your description

Have you heard of any issues running rich if you install these without a jb4?

The Amazon link for the u is for a 2" u. Is that correct? If so how did you transition to everything else being 3"?

I gunna copy this to a tee on my 2014 550i xdrive will update with results.

Super good video my man

The question is, Will water not get into the pipes during heavy rain?

I am having a hard time understanding how other than looks this does anything for the cold air. The current system pulls from the same area the new ones do? You removed the inlet vents to push the new ones through into the radiator area. How’s the new hoses and filters really changing anything as far as air temp?

Stimpy what are you doing man lol Taking apart my bmw always gets the nerves 😂

Hey man. New subscriber here... really like the videos. Installing a JB4 in my '15 650i GC this weekend. Cold air intake is the next modification I want to do. I can't find anything for my car though, so I want to do exactly what you did. Did you paint your tubing? I followed your links in the description and the tubing is black. I really want yellow for a nice accent like you've got.

Can you provide a list of all the piping to buy? For example what size ? What length? What size clamps? What filters you used?

It has turbo, no matter what the air will become hot!

So you didnt use the 6' pieces and you can use the excess from carbon fiber 12" reduced to 9.5" , to support structurally the hose to the box

What size is the filter elbow Nvm found out they are 3in 45°

I love your videos but How I can do to put all the pieces together? I want to buy it For my 2011 bmw 550i xdrive.

So I bought all the supplies, and the U-shaped did not specify with the center line distance is. Link to U shape hose gave a 7.5” distance which is too large

would this work on the 2013 bmw 550i f10 model with the n63 engine

Where would the mass airflow sensor go ?

How did u connected the sensors?

I have an 11’ 550i, what’s the best cold air intake for the most power? Also your car is dope ‼️🔥

Great video. I’m really thinkin bout a 550i with a N63TU

Looking into a 2014 550i XDrive AWD. And this video is great. Thanks send links on the parts. Great job

That's what she said @22:42 @26:00

Thanks for the video share. Its pretty nice video. Do you have a video on how it actually sounds?

Nice work dude thanks for posting! Will this work for the N63 non-TU engine? I have a '12 X5 50i I'd like to install this DIY on.

Could you give me a list of items needed to do what you did Did you use everything on the table

Great video

It looks badass! I want to do this as well but doesn't it get very dirty when it's raining?

so question where do we connect the mass air flow sensor or do we not connect it anyone know?

Can we get a follow up video, some revs?

Hello are the small like non angled silicone tubes I’d guess 3” also the 6” carbon fiber that you cut into 3” are they not needed for the build? I can’t seem to figure out where they were used

How do the exposed air filters handle the rain? Any problems with rain?

Subscribed!

Incredible library of videos, very thankful for what you're doing! I have the link you provided for the Spectre universal MAFS mount (I don't have the JB4 and need to keep the MAFSs). Do you know for sure whether one of the three MAFS "pads" that comes with the mount from Spectre is a fit for our original equipment MAFS?

Nice work !!!

Wouldnt you have to replace them faster this way because it’s more exposed to all dirt and flies ?

I feel for you, you went and built a DIY CAI from scratch and filmed it from start to finish and some guys still need to be spoon fed, cracks me up. Great job though, its appreciated. I'm gonna start ordering the parts, Have you had any problems with spark, or rather the DME's? Are you thinking of upgrading to the MSD85.1? Since your running a tune i'm wondering if you've had to upgrade yet, im dealing with the DME's now. . Anyway, looks good and thanks a bunch, BTW can you please send me a list of everything with instructions for everything...lol If you havent heard of MHH Auto forums, its the best place for things your gonna need, well worth the 25 for the ondemand alone but they have tech pubs, and a wealth of knowledge..

This should be esssentially the same for an original n63 right? Thinking of following ur vid for this one. Thank you so much what a great install.

What happened the mass air flow sensor . You missed that whole part which the most important part

amazing video super helpful. could you send me the link to were to get the piping and all? i have a 650i gran coupe im going to do it to. also how did you get the maf to work with the new piping?

Can you suggest a tube to use to mount the MAF sensor, for those of us who can't bypass the sensor and have the same setup. Thanks love the video .

did you see any difference in Intake air temp ?? (in jb4 app )

Thank you for video. How is the engine plastic cover holding up even without the support of the original air filter boxes? Is it sitting on the DP insulation or the O2 sensor wiring? Thank you

you are the man! any new vids?

I have a X2 M35i, I am thinking about doing this. I can find any I like and there is only about three kits. Charge pipes I can find.

Can you supply a link to where you purchased the parts with a parts list? This was a very helpful video, I plan on doing this to my 550 while doing the coil packs and plugs in the next couple weeks.

Hello! I just ordered the u-shape silicone tubing you placed in the description and it was to wide of a curve it didn’t fit is there any other ones you got on video the exact one link too.

What about the rain???

Did you not connect the MAF or did you cut out a notch to fit the MAF on the silicone tube?

Intake air sensor ? Where are they ? Ou u zip tip in the engine ?

Did you re attach your air flow sensor? I’m adding this to my 750i and I’m not sure if you did or not. So I’m confused if I’m even able to run it without it. Thanks.

ARM Motor also sell a cold air intake. Whats your opinion about it. I know yours is custom yet my big concern is rain water damaging the air intake. Sucking so much water.

What did you do with the air flo sensors?

Have you ever solved a slow coolant leak? Thinking it may just be the cap? Tank between the turbos is always level. I put ARM charge tubes, as the others lost seal and I was having a turbo leak. Could a boost leak from the intercoolers to the turbos cause coolant to burn?

Great video, I live in miami but dont have the tools or time to do it. Can you recommend where to buy the parts so i can take it to get it done?

Blessings brother so if I wanted to buy an entire setup like yours paint job cuts and all that you had to do to make it fit how much would you charge me if you were to get everything for me I have a 2014 BMW 750i

By chance did you install the BCM units? I’m stuck and JB4 isn’t helping much!

Where sensor going ? Any video or pictures?

Does water get into the filters? Such as when it’s raining heavily. Always wondered about that.

Can I ask. Do you have upgraded BOVs on your car? If so where did you get them? Here in MN they are unheard of.

can you please give the diameter of all the silicon and carbon fiber tubes

I have 2015 550i and I want to install the cold air intake too. Where can I get the materials or all the upgrades that's done to your 550i, I would like to copy it. please advice.

So you’re telling me that you got this top of the line intake from cheap parts on Amazon for about $125?

srry i got so confuse just wondering the T-Clamp size 77mm-85mm and the Silicone tubing is ID 3 76MM or ID 4 102mm ? and silicone U tubing 51 or 64 mm? and for the Carbon Fiber Straight Tube 3" OD X 12" Long and Carbon Fiber Intake Elbow 4" OD X 45 Degree Srry just wanna make sure everthing is correct before i buy it thank you very much

what happens when it rains directly on your intake filters?
