540i Intake Question
Wondering if anyone has had experience with the AFE Momentum intake for the 540 B58.
Or B58 in general. I've read elsewhere that it can trigger a CEL if running without a tune, especially in certain areas where the temps get colder. Just looking to get some input before pulling the trigger. Thanks! |

no check engine light, it will improve the sound of the car, and add some power but don't expect a night and day difference

Wanting to follow this post. I just ordered a MST cold air intake. Getting rid of my Burger Tuning intake. I think the closed box intake would be less heat. Your thoughts?

BMS actually did a test comparing different intake setups years ago, and the conclusion was that, in most cases, the open intake was the best for power. in other cases, they are all the same. The decision of open vs closed, in my opinion, has nothing to do with power or heat; it's mostly about how loud you like your intake to be.

Off topic; I was looking at the intake on your site saw the new exhaust for the 540i… any videos made with this?? Exhaust looks nice!

Yes! We are excited to announce that our 540 exhaust system will be releasing soon, and a video showcasing its performance will follow shortly. Our development process involves designing each exhaust and then sending prototypes to various dealers for their feedback. After gathering and incorporating their input, we retest the prototypes to ensure optimal performance. Though this rigorous process is time-consuming and costly, it guarantees superior quality, exceptional design, and a unique sound that reflects the expertise of industry professionals. Stay tuned for more updates!

I was looking at those MAD intakes and I know it's compatible with the G30 540i but I don't if it'd be compatible with a G30 540i LCI. I just got mine a week ago and don't know much about the differences between pre-LCI and LCI
