Question Cold Air Intake

I have been trying to find a Cold Air Intake for a 2008 BMW X3 MT. So far nothing from Dinan, K&N, or AFE.

Anyone have any success or even tried to find a CAI for the X3? Not trying to be a "tuner" just get a little added torque from our X3.

After that, might add a wide body throttle intake from Dinan and have a custom exhaust built.

For now wanted to start off a little easy and then add a little more here and there.

The 3.0 si cannot be chipped at this point. Even Steve Dinan says there's no more to get from ECU changes.

So open for constructive/valid suggestions (other than a supercharger, too much money).

Even thou I think its for the 3.0i and not the 3.0is..

Also I was looking, I think If I were to get one I would try to make a cosmos or an e90 06 330 one modified to work. I believe your 3.0is has the same motor as that car N52B30

this might also be worth a try

Wierd, I talked to "Scott" their head sales guy (at AFE) after contacting their VP and they said they didnt make one for the N52 X3.
