OVERVIEW
This BMS N55 Performance Intake is built for the larger N55-powered BMWs, including the 5 Series, 6 Series and several X models. It replaces the factory top-end intake ducting with a lightweight tube and a reusable oiled performance filter in blue or red.
Burger reports up to about 10 wheel horsepower with a mild improvement in intake sound. It bolts in within a few minutes using the included billet bracket, and the filter can be cleaned and re-oiled instead of replaced.
