Product details
OVERVIEW
The do88 LF-260 replaces the plastic airbox and intake pipe on the B58 Gen 1 M240i, 340i and 440i with a fully sealed heat-shielded filter enclosure and an aluminum intake pipe. The enclosure uses a lid and sealing strips so the filter only breathes through the factory fresh-air duct, which keeps intake air temperatures low.
The pipe is 85 mm at the MAF sensor and expands to 93 mm toward the turbo inlet elbow. do88 deliberately kept the MAF section at 85 mm so the factory air-mass readings stay accurate — they note that 89 mm pipes from some other kits can read wrong, run lean and set a check engine light. do88 rates it at up to 39 percent more airflow than stock and measured a 0.4-second quicker 100–200 km/h run on a Stage 2 car. With the factory silencer gone you'll hear more of the turbo and diverter valve.
