I'll be curious to see what the bumper section looks like...

I've got one on my fto. I moved from an HKS induction kit to the BMC mainly because I didn't want water getting on my HKS sponge through my bonnet vent. Personally I think the HKS felt better through the rev range and made a lot better noise. As Bennoz mentioned other people really recommend them, so I guess it's all down to taste.

Heres a picture of mine:

They do look interesting though...

Not sure I would spend that much on finding out if it is any good though!

Looks good Blondy.

Have you had it dyno'd to see what sort of gains you get compared to your old filter etc? I'd be interested to see the results...

Cheers, no I haven't done a before and after dyno sorry.

£150 for the filter, I bought the intake pipe for about £15 and £10 for the red rubber connectors.

The problem with this type of filer is that you won't get a realistic figure on a dyno as the filer only gets air for the Cold air feed and gives a ram air effect at higher speeds and that's not something that can be easily reproduced on a dyno. with mine I didn't really notice any difference from my old Apexi below 60mph (100k) but above that the difference was much more noticeable.
