The price certainly would indicate this, plus I think it looks the best.
IMO, aside from race-only designs, the ID intake is best looking design by-far with a most unique form factor.

Prior to purchase, probed forums/internet and found no notable ID quality issues. ID has a larger footprint, volume in S85s and subsequent M gens.
My installed, use experience - - so-far after ~9 mos, ~1200 mls fitment was/is spot-on, no quality issues, no CF blemishes. Since then, removed/re-installed twice for other maintenance access with no problems or apparent issues [ie cracks, delam, etc].

As noted in reviews, no question ID intake provides a noticeable bump in performance along with a very cool 'induction growl'...even with OE plenum. Also, appreciate design retains 'closed system' air intake similar to OE intent. Only downside thus far, requires a bespoke $90 reusable oiled air filter only available through ID.

From a price standpoint, intake positioned competitively; not the highest or 'cheapest'.

Overall, may take
