which one would you reccomend ?

Elite is their branding for products made in the USA. The other one is made in China probably.

I believe both use the same S&B filters so it’s really up to you to see if you want to buy US made.

If it were my money, I’d get BMC filters and call it a day. That’s really all you need for max power up to full E85 as everything else with an open design will generate heat soak and lose performance.

Only I recommend is eventuri. Stock is good enough

Our intake in very similar to that one https://mad-us.com/mad-bmw-s55-m3-m4...ow-air-intake/

The only difference I see is the Elite and the MAD one just linked both have a mounting bracket near the filter on the driver's side intake tube. Oddly enough the cheap one doesn't show one at all in one image, and it seems to have been cropped out on the other image...

Exactly so unless your really in love with the color blue for the filters its a no brainer. Then again with the money you saved you could buy another 2 sets of filters

Appreciate the feedback!

lol the car is san Marino so wouldn't mind the blue 😅 but ya the price point for the MAD is pretty compelling.

The eventuri looks nuts but I can't justify spending that much...at least not yet lol

Let us know which intake you get

I choose neither. BMC drop in filters with stock airboxes flow best. Under hood intakes pull in heat.

You did right according to me.
Once again I saw only eVenturi gives better performance. I must did it due to bigger turbo
Cheers
