ABD's CAI ranked #1 in performance on Eurotuner's CAI shootout. I think the best filter would be a foam filter along with that setup.

That is good news. I actually produce a new filter for the BMW crowd. I haven't finished our newest CAI, but I'm done with the panel filter.

Take a look.

I'm about half way through the CAI design process and I was curious what the market is interested in. This is basically your chance to have input on what a CAI will do.....from looks to performance.

Do you have a link for the ABD CAI for the BMW? All I could find was one for the VW.

Anothercooljti,

What CAI do you have? You say "your" CAI, do you have a link or a picture of it? I am very interested in all of the CAI products for the BMW.

Well unfortunately Ive been looking for this thread for a couple days, and finally remembered the "search" link. Not noticing that this thread was in the "BMW" section I posted since seeing other VW owners in the thread....LOL (so Im dumb for posting, just thought everyone whould get a kick out of hearing "MONSTER FLOW" again). As far as My CAI" its a 3'' SS U-bend that I cut up and welded together, soon to be aluminum, with a bigger MAS..

MY BAD.....

Here is a suggestion design a p-flo style that doesnt screw with my AFM and cause my car to throw codes galore and freak out . Had to put stock air box back on its fine now.

I would look into a Benfer or Conforti/Eurospeed. I'm not sure what is out there for the Z4, but I am personally running a defogged stock airbox. I plan on running the intake from the D/S foglight inlet for the summer...
