BMW Performance Intake Kits for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

Dinan has enigneered a new air box cover that allows  you to run a larger air filter but retain a stock-like appearance. The Dinan 330 intake cover seals better to the lower section ensuring no power-robbing hot air enters the intake. A new lower tube draws air from the brake duct, nearly doubling the volume of cool air entering the engine.

For over 35 years, Dinan has been America's premier tuning company, pioneering advancements in BMW modification while retaining a focus on balanced performance that preserves the original character and driving feel that a BMW offers. When you install a Dinan part on your car, know that it's not only carefully developed and tested, but that Dinan stands behind it with a four year, 50,000-mile warranty. Dinan believes so fully in their “total package” approach that once your car has been fitted with enough of their parts, they celebrate your conversion from stock to Dinan with an exclusive trunk badge, displayed proudly by BMW enthusiasts everywhere. This intake is worth 3 points toward your Dinan badge.

This is a short ram intake and filter kit that will go in place of the restrictive and unattractive factory airbox. Feel a dramatic boost to throttle response and build boost faster by eliminating restrictions and widening the intake track. The Injen SP Series Intake Systems Feature the Patent Pending MR Technology Process for Optimal Gains and a Safe A/F Ratio. The Injen SP Series Intake System does not limit itself to just a Cold Air System or Short Ram System. The MR Technology process has its effects on both types. The Injen SP Series Intake is The World's First Tuned Intake System.

In 1999 Injen designed the first urethane filter with a built-in velocity stack for added performance. The Injen Technology Research and Development Team calculates each filters mesh and pleat count for each specific application during the development stages. Today the state-of-the-art Ea nano-fiber Injen/AMSOIL performance dry filter provides reliable performance and requires NO OIL. Both Injen Air Filters allow cleaning and durability for 1000's of miles to come.

Built for performance and show, the Typhoon Air Intake System is a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube induction system designed to fit many sport compact performance vehicles. Each kit is proven on a rear-wheel dynamometer to increase horsepower and torque. Typhoon intakes come in one of three designs; cold air intakes (CA), short ram intakes (SR), or complete cold air (CCA) intakes which can be configured as either a cold air intake or a short ram intake. Available in an assortment of powder coated colors and polished aluminum, these kits are sure to please in every way. They come with an oversized High-Flow conical air filter designed to provide increased surface area and dust capacity. This extra surface area provides even more airflow at lower restriction than a standard K&N O/E replacement filter that is limited to the size of the factory air box. The oversize air filter also captures more dirt increasing the service life before a cleaning is required (up to 100,000 miles).

S54 Open Intake:

Amplify airflow and let your S54 breathe with the Turner Open Intake System. With a 200% greater flow than the factory airbox, this intake enhances induction noises, providing an exhilarating auditory experience. The design integrates seamlessly with OE fresh air scoops, maintaining stock mounting locations and incorporating a 4" conical filter for maximum flow and filtration efficiency.

This K&N performance cold air intake kit eliminates the restrictive air box in favor of a high flowing intake system that allows for greater power all throughout the power band. Every K&N intake features a premium air filter that is constructed from cotton gauze material between aluminum mesh - this makes for a long lasting, high performance intake filter. These are very easy to remove and maintain. Turner Motorsport recommends this as one of the first maintenance/modifications you make to your vehicle after you purchase!

K&N's air filters allow increased airflow - dirt and particles stick to the oil on these filters, making them more effective than traditional paper filters in terms of protection. Additionally, K&N believes their filters are more efficient than paper filers - this means more oxygen getting into the engine, allowing vaporized fuel to burn more efficiently and increasing horsepower and fuel economy. The best of both worlds!

• Covered by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty
• Washable and reusable
• Will not void vehicle warranty

Free-flowing intake featuring a roaring induction noise and increased performance to replace your restrictive factory intake.

Upgrade your E46 driving experience by adding induction noise and increased air flow. Let your engine breath and listen to the sweet sweet intake sounds!

With the factory intake you are limited to a finite amount of air, this leaves your engine under-served and limits induction noise. When it comes to the recipe for upgrading your E46 there are a few ingredients that you must have, power and sound. While you can add an exhaust for a bit more power and sound, the biggest difference you can make is adding power and sound under your hood with a high-flow intake. The factory intake box is also referred to as a silencer specifically designed to lower the induction noise for a refined driving experience, this helped exponentially when selling the cars out of the show room circa early 2000's. We as enthusiasts are no longer interested in subdued intake noise and limited air-flow, we want pure induction noise, we want to hear the air being sucked into the engine as we push down on the accelerator.

Key benefits:

Flows on average 71 CFM more than the stock intake system, a ~27% increase in intake efficiency
Increased induction noise
Maintains factory air induction track
Maintains Stock MAF location, allowing user to switch back to the stock airbox and retain the ECS Silicone boot if desired
Design:

Durable, lightweight 6061 and 5052 aluminum intake tube and bracket design, finished in wrinkle black powder coat
Mounts to locations on chassis utilizing Stainless Steel M6 hardware
MAF mounts to intake using aluminum brackets sealed to intake system with OEM fitment
Maximizes available engine bay space to fit oiled ECS cotton gauze 7” filter
Silicone intake boot with improved flow characteristics replaces failure-prone facotry accordion intake boot with provisions for F-connector fitting and Idle Air Control (IAC) valve inlet
