New intake for my x1
Hey guys,
This is probably the very last mod i will add to my X1. I will try to make a youtube video to show off some sound clips after the installation. 😀 Yes, i will prob not get a lot of gains but oh well, i have always wanted a gruppe m intake... Anywho, no more mods on my x1 from now on. My next car will be a glc63 when it is in the used market a few years later! Updated with pictures of intake after installation.

Hey guys, i have updated the op with pics of my new intake installed.
First impression: turbo spool noise is much more pronounce. Induction noise is a lot louder. The diverter valve sounds a bit louder when letting off throttle. Car feels more responsive, turbo spools earlier and seems to pull a bit harder at top end. Not sure why but jb4 is reporting less avg ign vs stock intake??? I dont understand how the two correlate but this is what i am observing. It was 4.7 now dropped to 3.9. I probably am not making much more power but hey, i always wanted a gruppe m intake! 🤣 i might get my car dynoed down the road at a local shop. They have a dynojet there. From what i heard, there are stock post 2011 335i that dynoed there in the range of 260-270whp. I wonder what my car would make? 370whp++ hopefully... Installation: i went to a shop called Cgmotorsport in richmond bc to get the intake installed. The staff there are knowledgeable and really know their stuff! They are well known local bmw specialists and i got to say they are worthy of their reputation. The installer commented the quality of the kit is superb and the installation was a snap. One con of the kit is that two of the screws it came with were a but too short and they have to get me an alternate set. Anyways, i got to say i love my x1 even more now! It is such a pleasure to drive and is now making some fun noises. I am seeing myself to at least keep my car for at least 3 more years. I may add a video later if i can get a hold of a gopro... no promises though. |

first I will say that it looks nice. Second I will say OMFG that price is astronomically ridiculous! You can almost get a Pure stage 2 for that price.

The X1 just drives so perfect stock that I am not in a hurry to mod it. Yes I want more power but I know that the more I modify it the more driveability issues I will have.

Sounds good man I can't wait for MHD to be available on our car! I am surprised to hear that the N55 turbo on your 335i cannot work on the X1... I thought the turbos are identical... Btw, i notice you are from Oregon. What are your plans for unlocking your X1's DME? Are you gonna ship it to twisted tuning? |

Ken (Wedge Performance) Lives 60 miles from me. I will probably remove it myself and drive it to him.

Yes and agree that the X1 needs to have suspension in order to enjoy the extra power, it gets sketchy at high speeds, the control arm bushings up front are crappy.
