Vanne, although my car is a non M the front end sheet metal is the same except for the hood latch mechanism.
My solution to feed more air for my SC was to fabricate a 3.5” duct system using household PVC plumbing pipe.
There was a bit of modification required to the front end sheet metal as noted in the diagram by the blue lines, This area was cut and removed. Then that area was sandwiched with an inner and outer 10gauge(1/8”) thick steel plates and bolted through to regain integrity in that area. Not sure it was needed for integrity but the plates also created a smooth and visually appealing location for the ductwork to pass through. Finally a K&N filter fits nicely behind the kidney grille.
In the case of the snorkel you guys are looking at,a silicone connector may be utilized to join the CF snorkel to the duct.
