Help! Dinan intake install

Taskmaster · 04-26-2015, 06:56 PM

On the brake cooler/duct - how does it go on?

Did you pull off the front bumper?

Follow the instructions. It's simple. You cut a hole via the provided template in your air box and rivet the flange for the intake duct.

happy you finally got to install this!

I already did the box, I was looking for help on the bumper/duct. I figured it out, glad the instructions were online. Feels a little better, but I haven't been on it hard yet.

Does this kit come with the rivet gun and rivets? I would recommend sealing the the attachment with some type of high heat sealant. Nice!!!

No, no gun but it does come with the rivets. It's labor intensive to install, but looks good.

Yes, I have this, too.

Subtle and an extra pipe for air never hurt. This was the first mod to my car. A nice way to 'break' me into the extra labor tax you need for BMW mods.

It was my first mod too, about three weeks into ownership, as I recall.

I'm sure we both said the same thing, 2 weeks prior:

"This is just a normal car, no need to mod. I've 'outgrown' the modbug".

Years later, thousands afterwards - we're wrong.
