it looks like K&N intake without the CF covers. The question is, with this set up, will it still be sucking in Hot air or not, or if the CF covers will even restrict any air flow to the filters!

There is nothing "cold air" about that intake. Plus, it appears to be just their original intake modified on the back-end for the MAF sensor and plenum tubing size.

Based on the photos, I would bet the bottom of the intake does not maximize the airflow from the bottom intakes (there are 4 intake ports on the E60 M5). Just look at the carbon fiber housing surrounding the filter.

Cheers,

Darren

Look similar to K&N Typhoon and I believe I have seen exact the same one u mentioned on beastpower.com at least 6mos. ago. http://www.beastpower.com/Merchant2/...ode=bimmiancai

I don't think those intake design would work on E60 M5. For sure bet, go with BMC+RPI scoop and keep the changes.

Too me, the ONLY system right now that may actually work, "at speed" are the scoops in back of the grill....they prolly make a difference from 60 mph on.....that thing you are showing me will actually make NO difference execpt for intake noise...
