Any intakes made for M550's yet? Even just filters?

Does lasso, Venturi, evolve or anyone make intake system for our cars? Or even a filter aside from H&N? I really want to hear more turbo sound and well perhaps a touch of top end breathing.
Anyone use anything out there?

Sergey Birioukov's cold air carbon intakes.
Nothing can be compared to. The best quality.

BMC Intake Filters

I’m running these BMC air intake filters on my ‘19 M550. Have been pleased and no issues for past 10 months. https://www.bmcairfilters.com/eng/ca...30-01/1503/art

Thanks guys, appreciate it! I had BCM's in my M5 but wasn't able to find for our car.
I'll check that link.

I have Sergey's intakes for sale. Have had them on my car for 4 months now. I haven't had any issues whatsoever. Don't know what mspired is talking about.

Yes, it’s an easy DIY install. Just a few torx bolts for the 2 filter boxes and swap the factory filters. I think I purchased them from an Amazon seller. Just search the part #.

While they do now, I don’t think K&N offered intake filters for the M550i until recently. I probably would have purchased the K&N filters had they been available when I was searching almost a year ago. I have a K&N air intake filter on my 2018 X5 that works well for me.

Yep things for our cars are really limited. I had BMC in my M5 and it was fine. Didn't know if anyone had known if there was a difference between bmc and KN. k&N is actually $50 less than BMC.

I have Sergey Birioukov's (n63intakes.com) carbon cold air intakes in my m550. They come with K&N filters. I also have Sergey's stage 1 tune. I recommend this combo.

My impressions:

1. First, the intakes were installed. I noticed some diff in performance. maybe it was in my imagination, because the engine sound became a bit more loud and aggressive, but I believe I noticed a difference with intakes.
2. After the tune (and intakes on), my car became really joyful. It was not slow before, i admit that, but after the tune it became really fast. Not a torpedo like Sergey's own bmw, but really really fast.

I got a couple of error notices relating to intelligent driving systems (even though all systems works normally), but i hope they will disappear after I reset the car by removing the battery clamp. If not, i think the reason may be of not proper connecting of some detectors when removing my bumper and putting it on after installing intakes.

Overall, I am very happy i chose his tune.

I have a pair of BMC's due next week. I've used them before on an S4, they made a noticeable difference in sound and some genuine power. I would expect them to make an impact on a 500hp + V8 as they did in this example:
