I have this intake and have to say it was well worth the wait .
I tried to order it direct and was told I had to use awe europe as I live in the UK but that one did not work out after a two month wait as my intake did not go in there container so I imported one my self from out motoring and had it in a week happy days.

Did the price go up? I don't remember it breaking the $400 mark

Josh - I picked up the intake used from a friend and am experiencing a P00BD code for "Mass Air Flow (MAF) A Circuit Range/Perf Flow Too High." Friend did not have any codes in the approx 8000 miles he used it. Everything looks to be in perfect shape and installed easily following AWE's instructions. Any idea what the issue could be?

I would recommend you clean and oil the air filter. Doing so helps the air flow and I clean my filter every 10,000 miles or so.

Thanks. The filter looks very clean but I guess it wouldn't hurt to clean and oil it. I have a K&N cleaning/oil kit - can I use that or do I need something special from AWE?

Although the last thing I want is more airflow at this point - CEL says I already have too much

How is the fitment on a 2019 F60? The Cravenspeed CAI (for F56) fits the F60 minus one mounting bolt. Have you tried it in a F60?

Negative.

Shoot me your VIN via PM and I'll cross reference.

Just an update on the CEL issue I was having... I brought the car into the dealer and had it smoke tested. Turns out the charge pipe was faulty and causing a vacuum leak. It was replaced under warranty and after about 300+ miles of driving I can report the CEL has not come back. Normally it would come on within 10 miles of clearing it. Kind of strange that the CEL was only triggered with the aftermarket intake installed and ran totally fine on the stock airbox. I guess the leak coupled with the increased airflow was enough to trigger it while the leak with the stock box must have still been within spec for some reason.

Glad you were able to get it sorted

Installed the Awe S-flo on my 2019 F60 and it fit perfectly. I did a video of the 30 minute install and will post soon.

Hi josh
if I was to change one thing on your design of this CAI it would be to add a rubber grommit to the retaining arm were the bolt goes through just like the stock air box as what I find is that the retaining bolt works loose because the CAI cannot move with the engine.

Agreed. My bolt worked itself free and has vanished

Part numbers for that motor are different. May fit, but cannot confirm.

I love this thing! It looks great and sounds great, and it feels tons more responsive. I also have the Forge High Flow Intake Hard Pipe.
