I have the Injen DCI on mine paired with the RSD Charge Pipe and HKS SSQV from Bavarian Exclusive and love it! Definitely worth the money. Performs, looks, and sounds fantastic!

Any FI car should benefit from more air volume. Having said that, I have both (2 335i in the stable) and the injen delivers more of a 'suck' sound when you throttle it and lets the sound of the turbos be heard more. The AFE is just quieter, but the benefit is you don't have to relocate your power steering tank on the install.

Great! I'm glad you like it! The Wrinkle Red is definitely a nice look. I decided to go all Polished on mine.

I agree, the Injen definitely produces great sound and performance. The tank relocation is not bad though since all the hardware and instructions are included.

It really comes down to personal preference and choice. Cold air intakes essentially all do the same job by increasing air flow thus increasing more horsepower and torque. The aFe intake has been popular for one of two reasons. Unlike any other intake in the market today, the aFe system does feature a 16 gauge powder coated steel heat shield. A heat shield makes sure that the intake doesn't use the hot air around your engine and only allows the intake to receive cooler air, which adds more power. the aFe intake does also retain the use of both of your air intake snorkels thus channeling more cold air directly to the dual cone filters. Here's a picture of the aFe system installed on my customer's car for you guys to check out!

Glad to hear that the aFe system is working out great Alex. What do you have planned next for the beast?

I purchased everything together so I installed everything at the same time, starting with the Charge Pipe and BOV. I would definitely remove the Injen DCI first in order to simplify your Charge Pipe installation. Plus, the removal is very quick and easy anyway.

what kind of strut brace is that?

Haven't had the chance to take videos of mine yet; however, here is a link to videos of the Bavarian Exclusive 335i with the same setup as mine. I will definitely take some videos and pictures soon.
