For those interested, I just installed this kit. The front facing kit has a silicone hose to silicone filter inlet connection. With the filter silicone going inside the hose silicone. This is a huge no no in my book, so i bought some joiner adapters to make that a more solid connection. I also did 2x 45 degree hoses to get those cones away from the front chassis stabilization bars. also took me like 5 hours and i took the whole bumper off :)

Hey Soler_builds here, pictured my car @13:04. Friends with the owner of N63intake, my car was the media car in the pics for the product, one of the first with front mounts. Tip: Install is a lot easier with the grill flaps removed so you don’t have to take off your bumper

He said lube! Love the vids! I am mod-ing mine now Your videos are great!! Grow the channel sir!!!

[@eric_4_edc147]

I know you were really tired at the end of the install. I hope your able to put out a video of how it sounds now that the intake is installed.

Thank god the b58 isn’t this tight in the engine bay

[@mrbmxxxtonyg]

I would imagine the air cones would need to be routinely cleaned, how difficult will they be to access for that after they are installed? No way I’m pulling my bumper off just to clean my air filters…

[@thate36guy77]

Can you change the the turbo inlets to the m5turbo inlets so u can run a different front mount in take

[@colbycarithers]

I also broke one of those coolant lines😂

[@kayess2888]

Would it not have been easier to just loosen the coolant reservoir and move out the way for space?? 🤔

[@jbcars]

You would have to remove the inner fender lining in the driver side wheel well to remove the bolts on the bottom

[@user-ke4qc3ki2b]

Hey, I saw your coils are red, are those the dinan's? And if they are, are you happy with them?

[@jbcars]

Yes they are and I’m very happy with them!

[@reggae1xtra878]

Did you test this in a rainstorm yet? I'm wondering if the rain will affect the filters in anyway.

[@jbcars]

Yes I have, zero issues!

[@reggae1xtra878]

Thanks@@jbcars

[@lordsofthecrackera]

@jb_cars I drive my car everyday, F10 550i MSport, are you concerned about water (moisture) getting in with the intakes exposed like this when driving in rain?

[@jbcars]

Not at all since I still have the active grills. They only open in sport plus with the fans running so it sucks most air from the lower hatch underneath by the radar sensor.

[@SageXteriorCleaning]

Let’s get a video of the sound

[@hotdogs1026]

...and the active grilles aren't affected?

[@jbcars]

Not at all

[@allanarroyo5530]

Just pull the grills out and cut the grills that open and close. In that way still open all the time.

[@artjonkastrati4162]

Do they fit on a 2017 M550i and can i put the Engine Cover back on so it doesnt Look tuned?

[@jbcars]

Yessir

[@artjonkastrati4162]

Thanks brother​@@jbcars

[@dr4life777]

Do you have to retune?

[@colbycarithers]

Oh that little clip was the worst. I also got a prybar and hammer and just broke the clip

[@elvisrodriguez7477]

Missing the content bro 🥲

[@ericfoutchtsi]

My concern is what if i encounter rain?

[@jbcars]

The filters are washable in water but I still retain the adaptive grills so most likely won’t be in sport plus in the rain. The grills seem to only open in sport plus

[@ericfoutchtsi]

@jbcars ahh ok thanks for the reply as this is a genuine concern for me.

[@ericfoutchtsi]

@jbcars also from what I have read they open at low speed to help the engine cool and close at high speed for a better coefficient drag.

[@jbcars]

@@ericfoutchtsi that is exactly right my friend 👍

[@jsn2482]

Is this bluestone metallic?

[@jbcars]

Yessir

[@SageXteriorCleaning]

You’re m550 looks a little more complicated than my 2014 tu.

[@noodle9851]

[@rellkendrick6569]
