So far the best CAI I've found for the R56S

https://www.ecstuning.com/Mini-2012-...ake/ES2719002/

It's the best i've seen that is an actual CAI like the stock unit or a JCW. I've seen most out there are basically HAI's that pull hot air in from the engine compartment. THere is another one out there that pulls cold air from the hood scoop but when it rains you'll suck in water, which is VERY impractical on a daily driver.
Check it out

It don't look any more difficult than any other CAI out there. I'll be doing it in a few months

Thanks for going with our ECS CF CAI. I have been running it since the begging and the carbon looks sooo good. Nice sound, mid level grunt and swoosh noise. Nice power pick up on the JCW in the upper rev levels. Install is easy just follow our DIY linked on the product page. Its a couple pieces and its in.
