It would be a big mistake to put cone type filters on an E63 or E55 for several reasons. One big one is that you would be sucking hot air out of the engine bay!

hahah

well if I was to create something out of carbon and enclose the open air filters, wouldnt that help out. The new M5 has a filter like that from Fabspeed or some other company and it looks like it would work with pretty much the same settup in the engine bay

just a thought,

just a thought,
Grouppe M makes some very expensive setups for BMWs and others that work very well. They tend to be several grand and are complete solutions.

Beyond that, you have been warned!

BTW, I owned a GT3 and the fastest way to decrease the HP was a Fabspeed intake so once again...you have been warned so proceed carefully.

The E63 already has a killer intake, let alone the Airbox has Carbon/Charcoal filters that give the engine extremely clean air to burn. Why would you cheaper that with junk thats sold of ebay? Vadim, Chime in whenever you deem necessary.

I am looking at maming new air boxes for 63s, but they will not be needed until headers and software are upgraded.

God I really need to bring the CL63 to your shop and let you have a field day with it. I wish I could just leave it there but I love driving it way too much and as a result I am racking close to 1K miles a week on it. Its just so damn comfy.
