Id like to know why is it that a car with one of those intakes goes into limp mode after 4-5 consecutive dyno pulls whereas with the stock, it can go on for 15+ consecutive runs.
We have also tested the open filter intakes on our 335 and found that with the hood closed or open the car loses power the more we ran it on the dyno. The stock air box on BMW's is actually very good.
