Hi Guys, With the installation of the aFe Power Air Intake on the BMW M5 (E39), we thought we'd do a before & after video to show the difference in sound.[video=youtube;3vZHPG3fCU4]http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vZHPG3fCU4[/video]Here's a few pics too:The stock intake

The owner has done a before/after dyno of the kit, and here we have the results - with no significant gains over the stock. If anything, at certain bands it seems to lose power. The runs were done side-by-side, and all other variables - temperature, humidity, etc remain equal.
So would reason that the stock ///M air filters and piping are already capable of keeping up with the engine's natural demand for air. So an aftermarket air intake MAY be capable of handling more flow, but if the engine doesn't need it, it wouldn't make a difference.
