Product details
OVERVIEW
The BMS Billet Intake replaces the factory MAF housing and airbox lid on four-cylinder B46 and B48 BMWs with a CNC-machined, black anodized billet aluminum housing and a high-flow inverted cone filter. It keeps the OEM cold air duct and insulated airbox base, so the filter still breathes cool air from outside the engine bay.
Three layouts are offered: the left-side intake used on F-chassis 2, 3 and 4 Series cars, the G30 5 Series B48, and the transverse B46 found in the F48 X1. Each version uses the same 3.5" inlet and renewable filter, and installs as a plug-and-play upgrade that can be reversed.
