BMS Intakes...
Does anyone have these? Do they work, are they "safe"? I've got an E43 with Renntech software which works great, and I don't want to upset that.
Mainly, I'd just like a little more turbo/air noise..maybe I'm better off with the Renntech Blow off Valves? I do like their products, and they are certainly reliable. Anyone have either? And what kind of results? Thanks if you have any experience..

I would never buy BMS intakes, as I've bought them for my 2016 C450 before, and not only were their fitment off (air filtered mashed against the bonnet and sucking in felt) but experienced loss of higher end power due to heat soak.
For my E63s, I left the stock intakes as their very efficient, the intake is a straight shot into the hot-V turbos. So all I did was replace the restrictive OEM filters with BMC filters
