04 Z4 2.5 Intake opinions

I am considering purchasing an intake for my 04 Z4 2.5 and I would like some opinions. Does anybody have one? Can you feel a difference in power? Do you see a difference in gas mileage?

What intake should I get?

Also, is there any chance of hydrolock with a Cold Air Intake like the AFE which supposedly gives you an 11hp increase?

Thank you for your time!

I have the AFE on my Z4 2.5 and it feels quicker. Sounds nice! 11hp? I'm not sure. No problems so far. If you want a sick sound combination check this clip.

Some members from the late Z4um had dropped in a GruppeM intake. Listen...

Some intakes help to economize fuel consumption aside from nice sounds.An AFE
intake gives more than 11 hp,i had it installed in my car after also changing my bmw ball joints and im amazed by the results.

First you should remove the wire net from the air mass meter (the M's doesn't have it).
