G80 Burger Tuning Front Mount Intake

ScottsG80M3 · 11-22-2022, 08:15 PM

This was definitely the most complicated intake install I've ever done. Total install time about 2.5 hours. Most technical part was cutting the plastics to bring the intakes into the kidney grill area.

Bumper removal was extensive but turned out to be relatively easy - I probably pulled 50+ screws/plastic fasteners. Fit perfect on the reinstall (I was pretty nervous about this).

The intake piping fits very well and Turbo inlets are snug as OEM. The sound is intoxicating and I can tell the turbos are spooling slightly quicker. Not tuned so hard to argue I can feel a difference.

Hope this helps those on the fence. I'd do it all again.

Damn, I want this same intake. The main part that worries me is the fitment of the bumper after reinstall. Fits back just like OEM, no new gaps/creaks/squeaks anywhere?

It only fits one way - everything is very snug with zero evidence it was ever removed. There are good pressure clips that hold the top on while you work to secure the bottom screws. Then the sides attach to the front quarter panels via two screws on each side - this bracket is very specific to ensure perfect fitment.

For cleaning/removing the filters, the bumper probably has to come off again?

Yes, the bumper will need to be removed - the kidney grill is mounted from the back so no way just pop on and off.
