Like the M5 CAI released not to long ago, this does not provide any raw horsepower gains as both stock systems flow enough to support even tuned numbers and are efficient enough there are no substantial pressure depressions to correct that would result in meaningful to report increased horsepower. The advantage to the CAI is in optimizing turbo efficiencies and reducing workload. Sure -- on 1000 HP super builds there would undoubtedly be some power advantage with the system but that is not the norm either. For most, the allure is going to be looks, sound, and efficiency.

For pre-2021 vehicles in the not so distant future I am told since we finally got some direction on the emissions side for how to treat E85 stuff. For 2021+ vehicles your guess is as good as mine. Until the newest encryption is bypassed/cracked in a meaningful way proliferation to the market is at a stand still. Its being worked on but putting a timetable on when a breakthrough may occur there is a fools errand.

@dinan Do the turbo inlets from the f90 m5 work with this? Or do you plan to offer a variation for f95? Seems they were a big contribution to power gain with that system.

Do not. Completely different inlets. From gathering pressure/temp/etc data throughout the intake system (inclusive of the inlets) there was not anything substantial (or obvious) in the short turbo inlet track to really improve upon like there was on the M5. So, at present, there are no plans for inlets on the X5M. We may revisit them down the road though if it is decided that we want to take the vehicle further (ie: big turbos) -- but that will be largely dependent on reception/sales of the more traditional bolt ons.
