Any cold air intake options in the market for sdrive20i ?
From the online reviews MST sounds the best however I contacted them and they don't offer it for the M40

I've been looking for one for the longest time for my 30i. I asked the person that sold me all my parts that nothing fits our cars (4cyl ones) and tbat some modifications to the engine bay and i take would be necessary to install an aftermarket cold air intake.

Maybe you can use this one as it is also for a b48 engine.

Thanks, I sent them an email. Let's see what happens

[Sherifelewa]

Already texted MST , apparently the b48 intake that would fit in the 3 series isn't designed to fit in the Z as well
Too bad !!! So far I think nothing sounds better than the MST

[ArmnStig]

Bump. Has anyone been able to find any cold air intakes for the B48 Z4? Still no luck on my end.

[Sherifelewa]

Nothing so far , guess it will take sometime..
There aren't actually much to add for the 4 cylinder except tuning the engine for a better performance which I already did . However I'm still looking forward for further modifications ( Intake , down pipe , louder exhaust )

Yeah I did the same. I highly recommend the Evolution Racewerks catless down pipe for the 30i; I'm running it right now and it's crazy paired with a muffler delete. Also if you're looking for performance exhausts, you should check out LAPTORR. They just released it

Oh they released it already !! Last time I emailed them it was still being developed . it sounds crazy , way deeper tone compared to stock exhaust

Yeah it definitely has deeper tone. I like it a lot. Personally I think my setup is throatier and has more of a deeper growl than the laptorr and all I have is a muffler delete on top of a catless dp. If you want to hear what it sounds like I'll link it below. The video doesn't really do it justice, it's much louder than you'd think haha.

Oh that's your car then ! 😁,, I've seen the video before and was wondering what else have you done to make it sound like that .
Love how it sounds

Has there been any update on this?
I'd really love a cold air intake on my B48 20i but haven't found anything yet!

Legend mate! I'll be ordering for July when it comes out

Looping in Designer003 - I think you said you have an AMS carbon cold air intake, could you link? Only for M40i or 20/30i too? Thanks

As a newbie, what does this do to your car? More horsepower?

Cold air intakes are usually done on cars like ours for asethetics and a slight change in sound. (You should be able to hear the engine taking in air a little more.)
The horsepower gains will be margainal at best, probably not discernible from the driver's seat.

Sry I haven't got online in a while.

Actually AMS one I have is just for Supra, not for G29 and there isn't a cut out space for reinforcement bars in Z4.(which you don't have it Supra, Z4 needs it because its a convertible)

Back in early last year, AMS intake for supra was an only option, so I modified a bit on reinforcement bars to fit it in...

GruppeM makes one too but I think its only for M40i and Supra.
https://gruppemdirect.com/collection...40-i3-0l-turbo

As for the effect after the installation, I still don't hear the air charge sound...
I did notice a good amount of increase in responsiveness of gas pedal, in sport and sport+, which was super fun.

If I were to modify 4 cylinder, downpipe and ECU tune comes first for more power. Then maybe a better brake disk if you are driving sportier setting. An air intake will be the bottom of the list (cuz they aren't cheap)

Thanks man!

I'm thinking of going for a ECU tune when I can find a good reputable company (many dodgy ones here!).
I personally love the sound of my 20i in Sport+ (makes me wonder what the 30i and 40i must sound like!) - so I may go for a res delete or muffler delete to just amplify that sound

Brakes are a good one! Must admit this car is so light it breaks so well, but I want to get better sports breaks that can handle more

Hey if you'd like an idea of what that would sound like I have a 30i with a muffler delete and catless downpipe. Here's the link to the youtube video. DME Tuning did a great job on my stage 2 tune.

Totally agree with the need to find a reputable ECU tune company.
It might be more expensive but it is worth it. If it's not done in right way, it will mess up the engine for sure. I suggest to do it together with downpipes change.

I have 300 cell downpipe. Factory downpipe is probably at 600-800 cell. Catless downpipe could get more HP out of car but the sound is brutal. Also unfiltered exhaust stinks! Do with passion and caution

I also have a 30i and would like to have a deeper sound.
Looking for a catless downpipe or one with a sportcat.
The company I had contact with said I also have to reprogram the ecu.

Is there anyone here who can confirm if this is necessary after placing a downpipe? I don't want to tune the engine, I only want some deeper and more sound (pops).

What are the consequenses if I don't reflash the ECU? If it's only a check-enginelight I can live with that..
