But they can gain MPG on the upside... (less air = less fuel in a fuel-injected motor running in open loop.)

Does anyone know if the 2020 Supra intake is perhaps compatible with the 2020 G01?

I reached out to Dinan multiple times already asking this and have not heard back.

I know some members on here are technical and may be able to assist.

I contacted them and not even getting any response.
I am not sure why but seem like all those company have no interest to make product for G01

I have looked at this before and I believe it won't fit.. For the 2018 build the air box has been spun around opposite to the M140i / M240i and the flat side is closer to the driver whereas the Dinan cover goes on one that has the flat side of the air box closer to the front of the car..

This may be different for the 2020 build but it's something worth checking first..
Looking at the Eventuri intake and the install guide I think that would fit fine even with a couple mods to the mounting brackets I reckon I could make it work.
But for just a small gain and the price of the intake I'm probably better of just getting the car tuned..

Thats what I mean. If there is anyone local with a 2020 Supra I am so willing to swap out air filters and even boxes just to see.

I'm going to go with the BMS intake system. I've used them before with no issues. As far as enclosed vs open, it does nothing for the temp since it's close to the engine. It's all going to be hot air. If you're concerned about dust getting into your engine then you should look up what the main purpose of the air FILTER is.

Also, an intake upgrade is more about how much air is being sucked in than it is the temp. If you can move it away from the engine bay and get cooler air then that's a plus.

I do agree , I find with normal driving and a small amount of time in traffic the pipe running to the turbo from the filter does get hot but not to the point of not being able to touch.. Pretty normal temps..
But when sitting in traffic for an extensive period of time it's natural for things to become heat soaked and everything is untouchable.
I've even checked the original complete air box and that plastic soaks up a lot of heat and also becomes untouchable and when I mean untouchable your can touch it but I wouldn't hold your hand on it..
I've even considered wrapping the intake pipe in a heat resistant reflective tape see if that will lower the temps of radiant heat..

With mine I have also retained the bottom half of the air box with the agency power so you still have the benefit of drawing in cooler air when driving at higher speed..
Overall it's a personal choice and I've been running mine for quite some time now in some crazy hot days in Australia and not one cell has shown up..
Three weeks time it's booked I'm to be tuned so we'll see what benefits all this has..

Anyone have any experience if this will potentially fit?

There has to be a cross reference available for parts #s from different B58 engines for the 2020 M40i.

I was hoping to meet up with a local Supra guy and another one with a 340i to compare air boxes. But that was a bust.

Today I went down the list of intake manufacturers that have intakes available for the B58. And called them all one by one asking if they have any current options available for the 2020 M40i or if there is anything they know of that will be available in the future?
All answered the same with a- No.

AFE
KN
MST
Agency power
Dinan
Injen
CTS

I figure if more people email or call asking about 2020 M40i options the B58 will have something available eventually?

I have a BMS intake and to be honest, don't notice any changes in sound or performance. With my N55 there was a very noticeable sound difference and could really hear the turbo. No difference to my ear on the B58. Anyone else experiencing this?

Also, is there issues with water exposure with an open box filter? I did keep the bottom half of stock box.

You are in luck as your X3 came with one. There's no such thing as a "performance intake" for these engines as they are strictly under-hood bling and noise makers. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that but the stock intake does it's job very well until you start going bigger turbo.

The BMS is a hot air intake. To gain minimal sound like you said and potentially lose HP. Its not even a contender for a power adder on the B58. People have already stated the car is slower than stock and at certain RPM loses HP. People can just go to pep boys / autozone and get a APC filter take of the box and its the same thing for $20.
If you actually loom up intakes for the companies Ive mentioned in a post above they do provide intakes for the B58 that are actual power modifications to some extent.

So the power gains in the BMS page on B58 "intake only" dyno is fake?

What makes others perform better?

I do not think anyone here has mentioned that BMS dyno is fake. You can clearly see for yourself that the car loses power.
And I dont want to make this thread about opinions on 1 intake or how are other better. Because currently the only option is BMS.
Lets keep this on topic for getting intake manufactures on board to produce other options for the 2020 M40i [IMG][/IMG]

WTF. OP was asking about performance intakes for 2019s, I have one and was discussing it. You don’t like it and want to turn this into a campaign to other manufacturers, start a new thread.

Eventuri looks bad ass but nothing in dev yet. I’ve been following MSR street racing on IG they make true cold air intakes brings the cone to the front grill and good thing we have shutters so when it’s heavy rain just drive in comfort for the shutters to be closed. Too bad there’s nothing yet but I’ve been messaging them to make one.

You have to specify what year X3 you are talking about, so you do not offend anyone.

Eventuri would be amazing but highly unlikely to see anything for an X3 M40i from them. Maybe the X3M. However it will cost a pretty penny too.

I have a BMS intake on my 2019. As others have stated, by itself it doesnt provide any noticeable performance improvements... Maybe if you add an aftermarket downpipe and a tune... it does allow you to hear "whoosh" when the turbo spools up, and also it makes a sound which I cant describe when you step off gas.
I've had mine for 6 months, going to go back to stock very soon. DM if you're interested in buying my BMS intake

I have the BMS now for my 2018. I’ve messaged the MSR guys and if someone lives near Charlotte NC they’d look into it. I’m half world away over the ocean so there’s no way I can get there.

With the 2021 GR Supra having the same hp as our 2020 M40i and they will definitely have more aftermarket part options for the Supra. Maybe some intake parts will be close to our B58? Still fingers crossed.
