Need help clarifying if I bought/got the correct air scoops

I bought the aFe Cold Air Intake for my 2007 e92 335i.
I chose the package that includes the air scoops but I either can't get them to fit or I maybe don't understand how to do it.

I bought this package:

If you compare the design of the scoops in the link above with these ones..
http://afepower.com/shop/details_new...0L&&brandID=53
..then you can see that the scoops in the second link are "wider" and therefore would probably be no problem to install. The ones I got are not wide enough to be able to "hang" in the slot where they are to be placed.

Now, has anyone installed the scoops in link 1 and can tell me if there are any special tricks I need to know or do they simply not fit my car?

Any help appreciated!

I have the scoops on my 1er and I had to squeeze them in almost. Maybe it's possible that you have 1er scoops as opposed to 3er ones. Though I really have no idea if there's any difference.

Thanks for the reply. I looked up this video on youtube and it seems to be the scoops that I got...

Seems as if aFe then managed to ship a package of air scoops for the 135 in the package I bought for my 335...? Or is there something I misunderstand maybe??
