Could anybody help me with which induction kit i should fit on my R56 MCS? I seem to be struggling to find one anywhere.
Can the filters from the R53 MCS be fitted on the new model?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I don't know of any yet. And I'm pretty sure R53 filters won't fit the new engine.

My dealer is getting back to me as he said one of the guys at the garage has fitted a k&n to his r56 mcs, i can only assume he has take it off a r53. There is also a thread where someone has fitted an old filter to the new model but nobody seems to confirm whether or not it is safe for the cars health

There are no intake products available for the R56 MCS yet....at least none that have been advertised.

There was one guy here that put his ALTA [UNI] filter from his R53 in place of the stock airbox. He posted a rough video demonstrating the audible differences, however made no comment regarding power gain or loss.

IMO, if you're worried about the cars' health by changing the air filter, you'll be better off keeping the stock paper filter, as paper is the best particulate filter.

I fitted the alta filter to the R56 but had to make a small adaptor pipe out of plastic to make it fit. To do this right you would have to make the pipe at a 90 degree angle to let the filter sit inside the standard airbox so that it can use the original cold air feed.
