In 2023 our team at Turner can proudly say we are still fixated on the E36 chassis, our group of engineers and technicians own a multitude of E36 chassis including an early model vert, 95 M3 and Z3m(still counts!). To pay tribute to this chassis we spent a great deal of time to ensure we crafted THE best intake possible for the beloved chassis. We made specific options tailored to each of the 6 cylinder variations with options for throttle body and ASC intake boots along with charcoal canister spacers

Built from the throttle body forwards, our ground-up designed e36 intake offers a closed lid design that, when paired with our powder coated heat shield, keeps your intake temps cool, all while packaging neatly into the engine bay, ensuring your intake is working as efficiently as possible while looking as good as ever. Our versatile intake includes all the provisions from the intake to the throttle body inlet, making every adjustment along the way to fit with whichever 6-cylinder USDM E36 you have, fitting all ASC and non-ASC, M and Non-M, and OBD1 and OBD2 variants.

Carbon, OEM+ styling with added air induction and lower intake air temperatures. To go the extra mile this kit includes new upgraded silicone throttle body and maf inlet tubes. With the new silicone tubing you can replace your worn or damaged rubber boots to ensure your car is running the best it can be. If the features alone don't sell you take a look at the photos to see just how good your engine bay could look. All of this along with install instructions makes the Turner E36 intake the clear choice for your vehicle. With this many features, there is no competition on the market that can compare.

E36 325/328/M3 intake with US 3.0" HFM
E36 M3 intake with Euro 3.5" HFM
Maximum Flow Pro5R Filter


This air intake system produces up to 20 horsepower, 25 lbs. x ft. torque and out-flows the factory intake by up to 80%. Included in this system is a washable/reusable conical air filter that uses five layers of oiled cotton gauze filter for maximum performance. This intake system also features a rotomolded tube that replaces the stock intake tract and directs increased air flow with improved volumetric efficiency for maximum performance. This intake system incorporates a unique coupling that smoothens the air transition into the intake tract, and also allows this kit to fit on both US and EURO Mass Air Flow Sensors. A one-piece black powder-coated heat shield requires little to no assembly for a hassle free installation.

5 aFe conical filter: aFe has maximized the space available in the E36 engine compartment to fit the largest available cone filter. For maximum flow and the highest horsepower gain, the Pro 5R oiled cotton gauze filter is used. The Pro 5R is a 5-layer progressive layered, oiled cotton gauze material that allows maximum air flow while trapping dust and dirt. It's a re-useable filter that needs only a shake and rinse to be cleaned and occasional re-oiling. This kit is also available with a maintenance free paper filter.

One-piece precision cut heat shield: The air filter is housed in a one-piece, black powdercoated 1.6mm heat shield that keeps warm engine air out for maximum performance. This one-piece heat shield uses factory mounting locations and comes with all hardware for a hassle-free installation.

Compatible with most aftermarket HIDs: This system was designed to clear larger style HID headlight housings.

One kit to Fit Both US and Euro HFMs: aFe has re-engineered their systems so that the same kit is used for either the US or Euro HFM. The filter and tubing was optimized for use with the 3.5" HFM and a special adapter was engineered to work with the stock 3.0" HFM. This is a bonus for cars with the stock HFM as they get the larger filter and intake tract!
Note: on cars with a 3.5" HFM an adapter is required to fit the HFM to the stock throttle body boot. Select this from the options below.
If you are removing the factory ASC traction control we recommend getting the Samco Silicone Intake Boot. Select this from the options below.

Please note: If you are planning to use any 3.5" HFM on your E36 M3, be SURE you are using the correct set of injectors and software too.

1992-1999 E36 BMW 325i 325is 325ic 328i 328is 328ic M3

The Silver Bullet throttle body spacer creates turbulence in the air flow just prior to entry into the engine increasing horsepower, torque and improving throttle response. In recent dyno testing by aFe, this throttle body spacer produced +4hp and +8lbs. x ft. torque (measured on E36 M3 with S52 engine) . The Silver Bullet throttle body spacers are constructed out of durable T-6061 billet aluminum and using a unique serrated/helix entry to create turbulence at the manifold while eliminating the annoying whistle found in other helix only throttle spacers. Great power per dollar performance.

Prevent water, mud and sand from congesting your air intake system with the aFe Pre-Filter. This aFe Pre-Filter slips right over your performance air filter, adding an extra layer of defense against moisture, grime and other roadway filth, extending the cleaning interval of your aFe filter. Water is repelled by the proprietary hydrophobic treatment to the Pre-Filter�s polyester fabric, and the pre-filters uniformly spaced micron holes prevent debris .005� or larger from passing through. Best of all, using the Pre-Filter does not significantly diminish your air filter�s performance�the smooth rush of oxygen keeps rolling right into your engine. Visually, the Pre-Filter blends in seamlessly with your aFe Cold Air Intake System and other components under your hood.

This particular pre-filter is custom sized to fit the following aFe Intake Kits:
54-10171 (E36 6 Cylinder)
54-10441 (E46 323i/325i/328i/Ci 99-2003)
54-10451 (E46 330i/Ci (all) & 325i/Ci 2003-2005)

Our new intake boot for E36 M3 with S52 engine and 3.5" Euro HFM retains the stock ASC option while providing a full diameter tube to connect the HFM to the throttle body. Often the 3.5" HFM is used with the a reducer to fit onto the stock intake boot. This upgraded intake boot does not use the reducer which results in greater air flow to the throttle body.

This upgrade kit retains the ASC throttle body when upgrading to a 3.5" EURO MAF sensor. This coupling upgrade was designed to work with aFe’s P/N: 51-12392 / 54-12392, but it can also be used with other competitors intakes. The coupling is constructed of polyurethane for strength and durability. This engineered coupling upgrade increases air flow and velocity by controlling the air intake dynamics. This is a very simple bolt-on product and requires no cutting or drilling.

This item fits the following BMWs:
1996-1999 E36 BMW M3, M3 convertible
