That's what Randy told me. Should be ready in another 2 weeks or so.

I have the DDM CAI that M7 is currently selling. Being that it is the only CAI I have installed in my MINI, my experience with others is ZILCH. For what it's worth, the DDM CAI is pretty good. I did notice that I had to run a tank of gas thru it to get the best results.

Also, Dave from DDM is a pretty nice guy. I lost one little bolt for the top , and he was very kind and generous when I called and asked for another bolt. Personally, I enjoy investing in people if the product is good. So for sure, I would buy from DDM again.

PS I have had no time in the last 2 weeks to change my sig pic, ignore the Stock label :P

Check out the Alta-

We currently have the alta CAI in stock for both the auto and standard 6spd MCS's.

I had the alta installed on my car before going turbo and man did it scream. Coupled with a s/c reduction pulley and a cat-back exhaust system it is music to your ears. I have a sound clip on our website.

You can check out the Alta system on our site here: Alta Intake System

We also have the new Alta box tops in stock which compliment the kit very well. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Thanks all! So it really seems like either the Alta or M7 ags...
I'll be doing some more research on the two... Any links that have some good prices on these parts?

I would do the same. In fact, that's exactly what I'm doing.

i was just thinking the same thing. if i wasnt turbo-ing, and didnt already have an intake i would wait for the new WMS one. but that is a gamble, you could be waiting a couple weeks or a couple months.
