No way. IND-Distribution is this thing finally ready? Can we get a group buy going?

Yes, we have intakes on order. These were released for the US market yesterday.

Group guys are not supported, nor authorized.

But if we had some sort of fight club type arrangement where we could have a list but not talk about the list.

Would love to see this installed and hear it. Looks beautiful! Would you expect much difference in sound?

Just installed the intake and it was pretty straight forward. I followed the Eventuri X5M install guide and it’s almost identical: http://www.eventuri.net/wp-content/u...stallation.pdf

Fit and finish was perfect, as we find with Eventuri products. Just one piece of advice is when putting the engine cover back on, do not push too hard on the back 2 grommets. They can push through and fall down into the crevices of the heat shield. This resulted in me having to take the drivers side intake off to retrieve it. Not a big deal but it happened twice…which led me to the softer approach. Other than my hamfistedness, it’s a super easy install and shouldn’t take you more than an hour on your first try.

I took it for a quick spin around the block while my kids were napping and whoa! Definitely a massive sound upgrade. The ducts facing the windshield from the cowl provide a ton of turbo induction noise.

How did you already get it? Where did you purchase from?

I bought it from iND. I received an email from them midday on 9/3 about the intake being available. I immediately purchased it from the email link (regular link to the product). It said Pre-Purchase, so I figured it would take a little to get the stock in from Eventuri in the UK…I was happily wrong.

Ania from iND (who has been amazing with all of my past orders I’ll add) quickly emailed me separately and said they would have the intakes within 1-4 days and would ship out from there. Got them yesterday afternoon 9/6 and installed them on the car today.

Huge shout out to iND for the best customer service, per usual!

Here’s a few quick iPhone pics I grabbed right after the install.

Also, the rubber piece in the middle was eventually centered as I was too excited at the time looking at all that carbon!

Nice! About time we get some goodies of our own (M50i platform)!

Gonna need to see some.videos of the sound of this thing.

Also, damn, $2750 for an intake. What in the world.

Will this intake make my 22 x5 m50i create that spool noise? or make my exhaust louder? This would be my first upgrade for my car. Thanks!
