Thanks to my good friend, @Seb335i, who brought this to my attention. @NoQuarter and I have been discussing alternate intake solutions for a while, with @NoQuarter leveraging work @BQTuning began some time back. Most people that have addressed this issue, have done so crudely, with DCI solutions pulling dirty air from the engine compartment. We had been looking at feeding clean air from alternate locations to a modified N54 740i box. If you consider that BMW has real engineers that design the engine system end to end, it should be pretty obvious to know that requiring 2x the air (for 2x the power) well exceeds what the stock system is designed to deliver without exceptional resistance.
So this is pretty cool:
