I think you are better off waiting to see what comes out for the X5M since the intake system looks identical. Typically aftermarket companies are more willing to come out with products for the M models first. To me i don't think swapping the filter panel is going to net you any results as traditional BMW's have very free flowing intake designs. I would only consider doing this if it offers a massive sound improvement which is only attainable from a cone style filter.

I had a Dinan intake on my F85 X5M and it was a sealed design. I got zero sound improvement. Did it offer any hp gains? maybe maybe not. When you have over 560hp you aren't going to notice such minor hp increase.
