It's been said over and over that the stock air box is more than enough and it's as good as it gets for performance. OP Dont waste your hard earned $ and just go with a filter.

AA sells a good reusable filter that a lot of ppl seem to be happy with. It's their green filter. I have it and it's great

I have the AFE Stg2 intake...got it for a good price. I would try and find one used to save some bucks. There is a few hp more than a panel filter, but mainly there is an improvement of intake growl over just a panel filter.

I installed the MS stage II six months and no problems with it slipping off. The MS elbow is tricky to get installed properly, but once in place it is secure. The intake growl of the MS stage II is pretty sweet!

If u have an 09 m3, ur in for a treat. The car comes with a limited slip differential straight from the factory. No need to get one unless ur looking into a different type of LSD.

@ jjw I am aware of that buy from what I read and heard is that dinan had one that I'd better then the stock and improves torque by alot and I'm looking to get the most power out of my beast without going to forced induction maybe in about 5 to 10 years I'll br able to get a stroker motor in it all I can do is what I can afford lol also getting a dinan pulley put in in the near future

Listen to everyone's feedback, drop-in filter is the way to go. No need to speed $1k on an aftermarket intake system.

I had the MS Intake before I supercharged the car. I had no issues with any "slippage". The growl is awesome

Gotcha. Yeah I have read a lot of nice things about the Dinan diff. The 4.10 gear gives you more torque for squirting around in city driving. PM Team Plutonium if u are interested in it. He has one and says he loves it.
