Performance Intake worth it?

thinking of getting the bmw performance intake for my car as i already have the performance exhaust and think it would sound nice together. Its just really expensive for an intake...im wondering if you guys/girls think its worth the extra money to go OEM and match my exhaust or does it really not make too much of a difference?

hoping i could get some feedback from some people who have both already! thanks!

when you say euro intake, do you mean the stock euro intake for the 3? or do you mean the euro version of the performance intake?

Stock euro airbox and then swap the stock filter inside with a K&N filter. Just put this in my car, feels great, more free flowing and you can hear more of that engine sound upon acceleration. And at about half the price of the OEM performance intake, much better bang for your buck
