Did anyone get the AFE intake 540?

Hey, wondering if anyone got the AFE intake on their 540? How was the install? Does it sound decent? Are there any performance benefits to it?

Curious if anyone measured IAT stock and after the intake install.

Looking for some feedback on the AFE Momentum GT air intake. I'm deciding on either the AFE or MST intake. Your thoughts about either will be helpful.

Any chance there’ll be one for the 540d? The airbox is the same as the 540i, it’s just the connection from box to the intake manifold that may be different?

I've had my AFe intake on for about a year.
Make sure to get a dry filter so you don't throw a code
I use to get the crankcase vent hose code from the extra air flow, but I have a oil catch can so no more code

Install was about a 5 for me. The toughest part was getting the old intake inlet off. Long pick tool and elbow grease.
I had a BMS before and turbo noise was louder,

Thanks for the insight!
But Dinan finally released their version of the intake for G30 B58 so I am going to go that route.
