BMW F32 435i N55 CTS Turbo Cold Air Intake sound review

As a cold air intake can change the sound of your car, I wanted to share the dramatic difference has made for my F32 435i. I have installed many CAI systems in many different models of BMW over the years, and I have never had one sound this dramatic and different.

There is a significantly louder whoosh clearly audible in the cabin, especially as the turbo kicks in, and above 2,000 rpm.

I feel my camera did a fair job in capturing the sound, and all of the higher pitched air intake sound, above the engine noise, is all new and from the intake.

Any questions or feedback please let me know!

Awesome video. Wish I didn’t install a Dinan cf CAI. Dinan is too quiet. How’s the performance of your intake? Any codes? Any issue at all?

What do you think of the big boost turbo kit for the f chassis n55? They're offering a nice discount for black Friday

Do you have another video with the sound after you installed the GFB DV?
