Hey! In the next few weeks I'm going to install the original M-Performance front splitter. I like it better without the two extra parts that reach out in the front (teeth), like you have. It looks cleaner without them. Do you or everyone know if you can just install the bumper but leave away the two splitter teeth? Chers!
@@bluesboy11111Thanks! I put on the lip it’s nice! But BMW’s pictures of the M-performance parts are quite misleading!! They show the same image with the splitter for this lip and the carbon splitter (which is correct). This is quite confusing on BMWs part and implies that there’s also a splitter on the regular gloss black lip (because you can’t really make out the material in the wrongly used image…)
Anyone else have a problem with the CEL coming on? I had it professionally installed and it passed a smoke test for leaks and everything included the MAF is seated properly. But I keep getting the code “air mass too low”
Awesome tutorial. Just Stage 1’d and OPF + muffler delete on my 2020 330e and its become a beast with 420bhp. How many hp does a charge pipe add and what does it improve otherwise?
I haven't gotten mine yet but MAF or Vac lines must not be installed right, these things get more or less the same flow as stock airboxes just sound better so it shouldn't throw a CEL
Hi Yaaseen, thanks for the video man, it's really helpful. I just installed the same part on the same car. Quick question: When you double-checked the lower part of the charge pipe was connected properly, was that little gap at 8:06 still there? I had the same gap and couldn't seem to get it tighter than that.
If I recall, it was just about the same. I remember loosening the clamp and pushing it as far as I could before locking it back in. If you pull on the charge pipe, it doesn’t move out of place. I take it that it was on there snug once I did that.
@@yaaseenhossen7713 Awesome, thanks for the reply man. I did the same thing, kind of jiggled it at both connections and at the silicone sleeve to make sure it was all snug. You're a legend!
Update: installed charge pipe today and everything seems good. Even with an MST intake, I do feel like I hear less of the turbo. Maybe it’s just me me but other than, it’s running solid! I’m going to install a JB+. Thanks again man for this helpful video
I know its just one pipe and its mainly for a better durable piece than the factory plastic one but notice any more turbo noise? or better/smoother power flow?
Better/smoother power flow for sure. You might hear a bit more of the turbo. But if you really want to hear the turbo, then I’d recommend getting an intake.
What if i just screw the big 3 bolts on each side without the smaller ones? The smaller ones are requiring me to dig holes in the bumper since I don't already have the holes there. Thx!
I liked the car so much that I just bought a Mediterranean Blue 20’ 330i. I’ll be comparing this intake to the Dinan carbon fiber one and go from there!
