Good to see you back in an X5 still taking care of your old one!
Yessir, I couldn't stay away forever hahah. Awesome to hear, I knew she was in good hands 🙏🏼
my tuner told me that putting a intake on one of these dont really do much, they migth sound nicer but he says that it doesnt add any power and is basically useless unless you want the sound
Depends on the tune really. But honestly I just wanted the sound and peace of mid I was getting clean air. The factory box was always a very weird design to me.
Sounds so good! I think I’ll just spring for the Fisher one. $400 is steep tho!
Godda pay to play hahah!
This is awesome! Sounds so good! I’m trying to build something hopefully similar on my N57 F10 530D but it’s going to be a struggle 😩 hello from the UK by the way 🤘
So i built this myself, but i have no flutter, just the sustained air hiss. Does that mean i have a leak domewhere?
Yes very possible, try the connection going to the turbo inlet at the maf. Very easy for the clamp to slip on you and create a leak.
The 45 degree piece is meant to turn the horizontal part to point straight forward so the 90 that turns down to the filter isn't crooked in the hole. See Evan's intake in the diesel group, and you'll see what I mean.
Awesome thank you!
Can you share who is making the 3d printed version?
Do you have a link to the prefabbed 3d printed one. I cant find it anywhere. Great videos glad to see you got another one in a more recent video!
Fisher motorworks
Hey man do you have a full parts list? I need one for mine lol
What lift and specs on wheels and tires. Must say looks really good.
Custom 2” lift and BBS 219 wheels with 33” BFG Allterrains
The x5 has a pretty good ram air intake, if the box was taller, with a better filter, it be a much better option
Model k&n filter?
Awesome video! Do you have any clearance issues when closing the hood? It looks like it sits up pretty high.
No sir, mine does touch the hood with the silicone slightly but closes and latches like normal!
so i ordered the metal intake tube how did you bend it ?
I wrapped a microfiber towel around it and put it in my vice. Be careful to do it slow to help ensure it won’t crack.
What did you do about the CCV hose and plugs from the stock tube that was removed?? Also is there any downsides since you installed this?
Sound bad ass btw.
Plugged any loos hoses that weren't required to route back into the intake pipe.
Nice mate 🙂x5 look cool with this wheels what a wheel you have and tyres ? And how you close the bonnet with this inteke pipe look like pipe is to high?
BBS 219 wheels and 33” BFG Allterrain Tires. Hood closes like normal with not adjustment! 😬
What sizes of tires do you have do you lift it ?
33" BFG and 2" 😎
Heavy rain on highway, no concerns?
No sir, still wash her with a pressure washer as well. Just don’t aim it directly at the filter with 1700psi of course hahah
@quadecrabtree love your channel and following you with the x5. can you share what wheels are those? Trying to look for the same ones for my x5. Are those m3 wheels, 219m? thanks in advance.
Thank You Sir! X5 content will be returning soon as summer heat winds down 😁 Yes, they are Bmw E92 BBS 219s with a 2” spacer! Try FB marketplace, can hopefully pick some up for cheap around your area!
Its m57 right? Was thinking about to make this on my e39 hope it fits under the bonnet😁
It is, that would be sick!
Nice!!! What rims and offset do you have? I’m trying to get the same look with tires just past the fenders
Thank you! I don’t remember the offset but I’m running 2” spacers and wheels are BBS 219s
Hello, no water goes in?
Under normal driving and washing conditions no sir!
D power badge it!
how did you bend the piping ??
I wrapped the pipe in a microfiber towel and then slowly squeezed in my vice. Go slow to help ensure it won’t crack.
What was the reducer used for?
To go from Turbo inlet to intake inlet. I believe size is 2.25 on turbo inlet.
What size tires are you running? they look like 35's!
I wish hahah, they are 33”s
Guess this wouldn’t work well for winter conditions 😅
Works very well for winter conditions. My IATs were 30 degrees in Windrock with this rig as your gathering true ambient air not hot engine bay air. Also with the protective sock over the air filter water/snow is no worry 😎
Are the silicone hoses 3” or 3.5” ?
3.5”
Can you build
Me one and send it to me?
I Definitely can! Shoot me an Email QCRCHobbies@gmail.com
This might be the move :-O. Emailing you now
Anyone tried this on a 335d?
I don’t believe so, ATM currently makes a cold air intake for them so the desire is not their.
Get someone else to hold your camera or buy a tripod
Yes, thankfully we have that under control now 😁
Thank you 🙏
Thank you!
