Anyone tried these?

In the May issue of Performance BMW Magazine, there was a small piece on these for the 335 ......

They quoted some quite impressive performance uplifts, for a relatively small investment.

I see that there is an equivelant for the 135....

Anyone have any experience with them, and able to confirm that they do make a difference?

Thanks for that - I did look around before I posted.

But I'm still unclear as to whether scoops really add anything if used with a stock intake system.

Any comments appreciated.

I'll warn you up front, people like to hate on both companies for other stuff... I suspect you'll just get a buncha trolls bashing. The air scoops I imagine they are going to do the same thign no matter who makes em.

Also, I wouldn't expect 20hp gains or anything... I would guess it'd just feel like its a little less restricted up top, and lower intake temps? whos going to complain about that.
