Who has a Gruppe M or replica air intake?

I saw one at a BMW show and I swear that they were not sealed to the outside thus drawing in air from the engine bay.

Can anyone confirm this?

Edit, solved, that's a bit poor then IMO

I doubt you'd get very much heat entering from the engine bay through that carbon shroud when you're moving though?

That looks a bit funny as well - is that a definate GruppeM filter, and not a rep? This is my Gruppe-M (authentic) on my Z4M...

Ta, it's just a stock pic I got from a google image search.

You'd of thought they'd of sealed it off considering how much they charge for the things.

Considering the price of the Gruppe M, maybe the Dinan is the better choice as it has a Ram Air attachment.

-There is no Dinan one, for the M at least.
