I been thinking of doing this as well with my new M3 bumper but only with the Mr 5 style. I didn't put the m3 ducts on so I have a hole on that side and a filter would fit perfectly in there and would be a true CAI. I'll put some pics up once I get the project done, but I still have to make the Mr 5 box.

Ya that's all I was doing was trying something. There is no doubt the mr 5 flows more just seeing what else could be done without cutting into the factory box while I'm still under warranty. The good thing is it's very quick to switch back to stock so can do back to back numbers for testing. I will do the mr.5 mod but since I dont have a lot of room because of the m3 duct I was thinking of adding an in-line filter like this one to the mr.5 intake line like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-CAR...ht_5723wt_1082

Here ya go. Sorry for the pics they were the best I had on the phone.

I believe that most people running Mr. 5 Intakes bought another airbox used so they can go back to stock. (check the marketplace) That also keeps the car on the road when fabrication is in progress.

There is another inline filter kit that I recall seeing on e90post. I think it houses a cone filter. You will have to search.

Your bumper looks great. Does the duct have one outlet to brakes and you just redirected it to the airbox?

Here is that inline filter link:

Sorry OT but how did you fit the m3 airducts on? Is it hard? Any DIY? I hate how the foglights look also.

You don't need to put the M3 ducts on to run the fog delete. I'm going without the ducts for the time being, it still looks good if you clean out the plastic behind the bumper.

Check Cuban's DIY on the M3 duct install. It did require some cutting and modifying to get them to fit.

It's real easy measure twice cut once theory. I tried running without the ducts but it was killing me looked like these two huge empty holes on my front end . When your ready pm me I'll walk you through it. As of now connecting the duct to my factory filter box still feels stronger then stock especially at 40+ mph. I've got to get some testing done next week when I'm off work to make sure it's not in my head.

Ya the passenger. Still blows in the wheel well the other I trimmed to point up towards the engine bay . I got the idea from my buddies m3 the driver duct feeds the intake along with two other points the hood and front grill. I would love to find a way to get air from the hood as well
