Does anyone have an opinion on either the BMP Design High Flow Racing Air Filter, Autothority FlowTech Intake System or Bavarian Autosport Power Flow Intake? I have a '95 318ti. I'm planning on getting the Dinan chip and throttle body, but they don't make the intake for my year. Thanks

Be sure there is a heat shield otherwise you are just sucking in hot air.

I agree with Steven! I am going to start working on a heatshield soon I should have something in a month or two. The BMP intake is not properly shielded, ECIS style is the best design and it is what I will be working on.

Hey, I just purchased a '96 318ti. I was looking at exactly the same items, cold air intake, Dinan chip and Dinan throttle body. And maybe later a Supersprint exhaust. let me know how you like the set-up. Dinan Engineering is approx. 45 miles from my home.
They are the only firm that is BMW factory backed for warranty purposes. Their cold air intake is expensive compared to Bavarian Motor Parts. Good luck!
