New RAM air induction system for E39 M5 :-) - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Now that I have your attention...

Here is my answer to obtaining "real" cold air forced induction to the BEAST's lungs!

All you have to do is remove the bumper

(at least for those of us with CAI installed)

btw: this is a pic of my BEAST without the bumper and the grilles awaiting the body man and then new paint and clear coat some time next week..

you can view the rest of the pics at the following pointer on Photopoint... I will be posting more pics as the work progresses...

Andy,

Don't go through any puddles! I've seen what happens to a 5-series when that happens.

If you were in deep water for a bit yes it could. But Andy had his "nose" dinged like mine so it is gettin a nice little repair job.

I called DINAN before I had the cold air intake added and asked them about water problems. Their answer was that it's not going to be a problem unless we are driving in deep water i.e. 10 inches or so. I live in Oregon and it can rain here from time to time.HA HA HA.. I want to know what kind of cold air intake is thesecond picture
