OVERVIEW
The BMS V2 N55 Performance Intake is a bolt-on upgrade for F-chassis N55 BMWs that replaces the restrictive factory upper intake with a smoother polymer tube and a reusable BMS111 performance filter. The OEM cold-air duct and airbox base are kept, so the filter still breathes outside air while the lower airbox shields it from engine-bay heat.
Burger reports up to about 10 wheel horsepower, faster turbo spool, crisper throttle response and a stronger intake note. The kit installs in minutes and ships with the hardware needed for either automatic or manual transmission cars, and the oiled filter is serviceable with a cleaning kit.
