Bms dci questions???

Hey guys I'm looking at buying the Bms intake system for my 335i. I just was wondering what your guys thoughts of this intake system before I go ahead and pull the trigger on them? Thanks

It will cause your intake temps to rise up to 150+ if you are running it hard which will pull timing then cause you to go slower. Mr. 5 intake is far superior. My dci caused my IAT's to get up as high as 200 and now that I made a Mr. 5 intake they never get higher then 90. It won't do you any good to suck more air if it is all hot air. Just what I experienced.

The Mr.5 intake can be made for less than the cost of dual cones which you will probably end up doing anyways, once you feel how hot the dci's get and run a log.

Seriously, do you expect us to believe such rubbish? IAT of 200F with DCI an 90F with just Mr.5 intake? I have done extensive testing and I can prove that is a pile of garbage.

I have done a lot of testing also, what did you find? DCI are crap. How much boost were you running when you did your "testing"

Clearly you have not. There is no way you were getting 200F on a DCI then 90F on the Mr.5 intake with no other mods. That is a 100% fact. It is irrelevent how much boost you are running. There is no way those results are valid period.

Here is some testing I have done and there are others posted on the forum as well.

Good job, you didn't have a stock intercooler like the OP does, second try your testing at a drag strip and tell me the intake temps don't go through the roof. haha your testing is good but really man your intake temps should stay down if you are cruising on the freeway.

I have been on these forums a long time. I have written countless DIYs for the forum. I have tested under a ton of different circumstances. If you read closely you will see I tested hard WOT pulls on a number of runs. Here is the detailed analysis.






I am sorry but your facts are 100% flawed. Show me where you got 90F on a stock intercooler, tune, and Mr.5 intake. That is a rediculous claim.



OP, the DCI will do a good job at lowering your WGDC. The CAIs like STETT have proven to give the same WGDC with lower IATs. It is the better choice.

I really don't need a rebutle, I never go on forums because of peple like you that are clueless. I could care less what you think, it doesn't take much testing to realize how hot your intake is.

Stay stock until you are tuned. Intake benefits are negligible at best when running 8 psi.

Hmm I can drop my tranny, change the clutch and flywheel, swap axles, change differential, install methanol kits, test nozzle orientation, fabricate who knows how much, and test countless parts to forward the community and I am clueless. Maybe you need to re-examine your obviously made up facts and determine who really has the problem.

Just let it go. Haven't you heard of "don't feed the troll". You've been on here long enough, I'm sure you've seen your share. This guy is even more obvious than most. You don't need to justify anything - that's exactly what they are always looking for. Their goal is to make you feel insecure enough that you have to list out accomplishments, but it's irrelevant because he doesn't really care. He's obviously not coming to you to look for advice, so why would it matter to him whether you're legit or not.

I just installed my BMC DCI tonight, no codes at all, installation is quick and easy. I got it to pair with my COBB AP.
