If you're looking to give your BMW a little extra kick, this intake system is a game changer. It not only cranks out more cool air to the engine but also delivers that sweet turbo whistle—it's aggressive but not over the top. You'll definitely feel the difference in performance.
This bad boy stands at 7 inches tall and has a 360-degree radial flow design. With a 4-inch round flange and our Pro 5R media, it features five layers of progressively finer cotton gauze. Trust me, this setup is perfect for both street cruising and track days. It really maximizes airflow, which is what you want for that extra performance boost.
The air filter is snugly housed in a robust XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) polymer enclosure. This design pulls in air from the front of the vehicle while keeping the warm engine air at bay. The open-element design not only looks cool but also lets you hear that aggressive intake sound. Plus, it connects right to your factory air inlet without needing any extra hardware, making it a straightforward upgrade.
Now, let’s talk about the intake tube. Made from 100% twill weave carbon fiber, it's lightweight and designed with precision to ensure you get maximum power gains. There’s no fiberglass here, just solid construction that’s clear-coated for durability. You’ll appreciate the quality when you see it up close.
Installing this intake is a breeze. It uses the factory mounting locations, so you won't be fumbling around with a bunch of unnecessary hardware. The innovative filter-to-housing interface means you’ve got half the parts compared to traditional cold air intakes, which makes for a quicker and easier install.
Just a heads up, this product isn’t CARB exempt, so if you’re in California or have a vehicle registered there, you won’t be able to use it.
In short, if you own a BMW 335i, 435i, M135i, or M2 from the years listed, this intake system is worth considering. It’s built for performance and ease of installation, making it a solid choice for anyone looking to enhance their ride.
