So, in my Point of view, I still feel, for the X5M an RK design is better as the filters are out and away from the engine heat and in dorect clean cool airflow in front of the car. The problem for me personally with an over the VC Intake is the extreme heat created by the motor, turbos and no escape and the ambient heat here in Bahrain from the roads and ACs running etc. reaches up to 149f.

No, i kid you not. I was a senior official and marshal for F1 in Bahrain since 2004 until recently and was in the pits and trackside as well. Used to see the Pirelli guys do the measurements all the time in March time frame when its nicer. Still we were above 125f on track and 110 air temps. For Example July and August here are the hottest months and right now the temps at night are from 95-105f LOL with high humidity sometimes.

RK Style would be easy to clean as well as i'll have to do that every few months because of the dust and sand here.

I know I am possibly going to be your only customer from this hot and dusty of a region but I just wanted to provide the info above. Also an Improved RK Style intake would be cheaper to produce and benefit the buyer as well.

I'm sorry I don't really understand. Dubai is pretty far away from Bahrain……10 hour drive, 45-50 mins flight.

Good to know, Sophisticated Redneck and I are working on this since he will have my X5M for some fitments, then we can see what type of market there is for this intake..

Do you still have those connections in the UAE? TTV8M

anything helps even if there are no turbo updates or DPs but I agree if the price is very high probably not best investment.

my half scoops works very well - aesthetically speaking

Look at the price today, in year 2023

Over 2 grand

Get Sophisticated Redneck intake for a fraction, and better, with proven results.

Troy was changing part of the design because others that installed GEN1 were having issues so he's printing them now. Let me have him speak to it Sophisticated Redneck
