I want to thank you so much for this video, I sure did not want to spend $1,300 on the same exact system from those other companies. Also don’t listen to those guys telling u not to do.

[@suleyman_yusifov]

My man, because of your video, there is no silicone hoses left on amazon🤦🏻‍♂️

[@thomasmollura3449]

I bought some and the center line angle was too large on the 90

[@denalidriven1574]

Rk tunes

[@Skyx5m50]

Silicone hoses and brass T’s saved my turbos. Coolant was leaking bad because the plastic melted. Once I changed it it runs like money.

[@IKhanNot]

Actually the stock intake is just fine. All that one needs to do is put a 90 degree thermostat and reprogram the DME so the coolant temperature runs at 90 degrees instead of 105 degrees. It will result in less heat soak (which these N63s are known for). BMW programs the ECU on V8 motors to run really hot because it gets 1 MPG more but in the long run ruins all of the seals, gaskets and melts plastic parts.

[@piotrjanowiak2345]

Where did you get the thermostat

[@mquaschnick]

why haven't more people thumbed up this? I am very new to my 2014 550i xDrive... but this sounds amazing (almost too good)? I'll do more research, but thanks @7477238, at least, for the wild goose chase! Peace and F-that 1 MPG

[@MrRW88]

Because he lying

[@IKhanNot]

@@MrRW88 I'm lying how? BMW N63s are programmed to run at 105c to 115c (higher temps in eco mode) and that does lead to heat soak issues especially on a hot vee motor. Coolant line leaks are very common on those engines and the aftermarket makes a 90c thermostat. The customer reception has been good on that new part. Also are you going to deny CAFE and EPA stuff too?

[@ryxn98]

@@IKhanNot I’ve been dealing with the coolant line issue for a minute now, pretty much replaced the whole coolant system at this point. getting one of these after market thermostats that are programmed to sit at 95 can help prevent this in the future?

[@bryanderksen4448]

Nice clean installation! I appreciate the care to heat-bend the plastic panel so you have the option to restore it to OEM in the future. Nothing worse that a BMW attacked by a Sawzall

I was pretty good at diy mods for my 335i n54 but after hitting a wild animal and totaling it out, I decided to get a 750i. I must admit I was intimidated about doing any mods to it but after seeing your video, I am getting the fever again.

[@jtillamane900]

Excellent, well done videos. Keep them coming. Learning alot for my 650i. 👍👍👍

[@wfleuranvil]

Great mod, but you didn't give the measurements for the carbon fiber angled pipes. Can you please provide the measurements thanks alot.

[@jwanbowden1689]

Thank you so much because I have a n63tu and legit no one has any types of videos

[@OBCblackhawk]

Does this actually net any real gain in performance? The size difference in the factory tubing and the fact it already draws air from the same location makes me wonder if you get any gains whatsoever. Would be awesome to see a head to head comparison on a dyno. I'm sure it sounds a bit different without the airbox though. I just wouldn't want to waste money on a mod that doesn't net any gains and have to fuss with fitment issues. Not saying anything against this buildup, its very cool! But I'd love to see some numbers if possible.

[@hochh6978]

Only works up until you face some muddy conditions, so do that only if you're living in soft, dry climate like the author of this vid.

[@warpspeedracer]

Might do this for my 750i. Didn't know you could bypass the MAFs with JB4.

Dude you're seriously the best, I can't thank you enough. About 3 of the things you have done in your videos are things I've been debating since I got mine last year but you got me off the fence 1000%. I have the exact same model/year/etc. Course, wish I would've gotten the XDrive version but hey, can't win em all. I did have one question, I'm getting ready to do the install of the JB4 this weekend, I am sure you are busy like anyone else but WHEN are you going to do the BCM install video? :) Again man, best video's I've seen for our model by far, super super super impressed.

Amazing Job!

[@mrdustie3997]

Wow. You shot this... it's a wicked sikk set up. I've been debating on how to do this & trying to do this to mine but cant figure out what inlets could hold the maf sensor in place, let alone trying to find u shape silicones (all sold out everywhere I look). I've ordered that strut bar you did & I've ordered those arm downpipes just gotta do this dyi cold air intake.

Can you give Inner dimension and outer dimensions of piping used. Or 3inch fit inside 3"?

[@elby401]

ARM Motorsports has a front facing upgrade option for their cold air intake system. Selling for $550

[@SINasTER75]

You get a check engine light with the ARM intake and some bad low throttle and idling issues

Thanks for the video share. Its pretty nice video. Do you have a video on how it actually sounds?

[@thatdude3832]

That's a nice set up! I have the same motor, but I'm still using my mass airflow sensors. Is there a special pipe I can use to keep my sensors? Everything else seems to workout well... Let me know if you have any suggestions.

[@DownlnTexas]

yes on ebay

[@Woo.f32]

Unless you have a custom tune that takes advantage of the lower watergate duty cycle from the added airflow, youll see no gains and only maybe better throttle response. All ots maps target a predetermined temp

So you didnt use the 6' pieces and you can use the excess from carbon fiber 12" reduced to 9.5" , to support structurally the hose to the box

[@thomasmollura3449]

So I bought all the supplies, and the U-shaped did not specify with the center line distance is. Link to U shape hose gave a 7.5” distance which is too large

[@jacky11222]

I am having a hard time understanding how other than looks this does anything for the cold air. The current system pulls from the same area the new ones do? You removed the inlet vents to push the new ones through into the radiator area. How’s the new hoses and filters really changing anything as far as air temp?
