Drivetrain Gruppe M intake for r56
#51
Yep, there are options. We have been in prototype for about 2 months now, and I am building jigs for this and the cat-back next week.
We are doing a stainless SportBox with an optional RAF bit that uses the hood scoop. Should be ready in less than a month, but no promises.

It will be a matter of days now now weeks We had a little project come along that took some of our time away but we are back on it full time now . If you want to check out this thread and hopefully you will agree that the numbers gained were worth the time out.

I'm sure there are several options to divert what little moisture comes through the scoop out of the inlet funnel or and/or out of the airbox itself. Ever seen an aibox on a dirtbike and the simple drain systems availible?
Any moisture that does hit the filter cane be negated by a simple filter oil (K&N or other) sprayed on the filter rlrment itself (depending on the specific filter) or on a lightweight filterskin.
Easy stuff. Moisture won't be an issue.

This is probably a non-issue for a number of reasons:

For those of you looking to improve the intake on the R-56 here is a bit more to think about . We are getting very CLOSE with our system and here is another photo of our prototype . The on road testing went well and we are ready to sign off on the mold and get the production line up and running. I will post any more info as it becomes available.

Worst case scenario (if it's not in the design already)... add a simple drain plug in a low spot in the "funnel" and then in the airbox itself. Just run it for a few weeks in the weather, first. That way you can see the telltale signs of where moisture enters the system and how it pools.

with all this talk about a functional hoodscoop, i have to question if it can really be functional. i know some people's hoodscoops are completely closed, but mine has a few small holes in it, so air can pass through. but... something i have noticed after car washings, when i take the car out on the highway to let it blow dry the water beads that are sitting on the scoop (right in front of the opening) dont move. is this an issue with the design of the hood shape/scoop that air just passes right over top of it? or, would either of the above functional intakes/scoops change the air flow since it is forced to pull air through the scoop? im assuming there are no other intakes/openings for the filter under the hood right? this worries me when it comes to spending all this money on a more functional hoodscoop/intake. i hope all that made sense... lol.

That's the stock hoodscoop, nothing designed by Gruppe M.
When I think about it.... it's professionally done by.....BMW
