Flexible silicone smooths the intake tract while allowing for a range of performance intakes fitments. The ultimate in durability!

In most vehicle applications, the rubber intake elbow found in the intake system is not designed for performance or modification. They were designed to get the job done but when you add a performance filter, intake or tune, the stock elbow will start to show it weakness. The stock rubber elbows disrupt air flow as it passes over the accordion sections causing unwanted turbulence and negating the effects of intake modifications.

With high quality 4 ply construction, the Turner intake boot is strong but flexible, ensuring a secure fit on an OEM or aftermarket intake system. A smooth interior ensures unimpeded airflow, while a smooth, unassuming exterior adds to any engine bay.

Benefits:

Improved throttle response,
Increase induction sound
Increased power output - and power output, Best when paired with an ECS drop-in air filter.(ES4461001 or ES4460965)

Get the highly coveted CSL experience with your S54! Roaring induction noise, aesthetics and increased performance are just the tip of the iceberg when installing this legendary intake. Its not fair that Europe always gets the cool cars and widgets (excluding E36 LTW, thank you BMW.) The E46 CSL M3 is world renowned as one of the finest cars BMW produced. Covered with parts exclusive to the CSL model, the intake system is one of the most sought after components for non-CSL owners. The CSL intake plenum is your chance to experience the life altering CSL intake. For starters, after installation you are left with a completely transformed engine bay. You can try your very best to resist from sticking your arm in the massive inlet of the plenum but we doubt that you will be able to hold back. Turner's CSL intake plenum boasts a full carbon fiber construction with velocity stacks engineered to outflow the factory air box by over 20% and even outperforms the factory CSL air box on the flow bench because of the improved design. The CSL intake does not feature any sound dampening or silencer and allows your S54 to let out its full roar that can be heard clear through the cabin for an experience that makes you smile ear to ear. Paired with the Active Autowerke Alpha N Tune we have seen gains of up to 43 hp and 26 Ftlbs of torque in a healthy naturally aspirated S54. Performance Benefits: Airflow increased by over 20% Increased throttle response Tuning benefits far beyond the factory intake Weight reduction Roaring induction noise for both driver and spectator

When we first got our hands on a E46 M3, we were eager to release our CSL Intake. After popular demand, the experts here at Turner took it upon themselves to make a more affordable intake option. Our engineers took the original stock intake and made it better. The intake system we designed outflows the factory intake, maintains factory MAF scaling, provides increased induction noise, and looks great in the engine bay. Our intake was CAD designed inhouse to seamlessly integrate with OEM inlet ducting and stock mounting locations.
Through rigorous research, development, and testing of this intake, Turner has created their perfect version of an "Open Intake" that flows more freely than the stock intake, providing options to suit your needs for a cost-effective solution. Flow bench tested in-house at Turner, the Turner E46 M3 intake flows more air than the OEM M3 Factory intake.
Features:
Wrinkle Black Powdercoated Heat Shield Assembly with pre-installed edge trimming.
Precision fit heat shield provides fresh cool air to the intake while keeping hot engine bay air out.
Heat shield mounts in stock location with supplied hardware
Maintains OE fresh air inlet scoop.
Aluminum MAF housing maintains OEM MAF scaling.
4" conical hi-flow reusable air filter; featuring 8 ply oiled cotton gauze construction and a bell mouth inlet to maximize flow and filtration efficiency

Maxiumum Flow Pro5R Filter

This intake kit replaces your restrictive factory air box. It features a 3-angle aluminum velocity stack adapter, 1.6mm powder-coated steel heat shield, trim sealed to seal out hot engine air, and a custom aFe brand cotton filter.

This version uses aFe's highest flowing filter media, which uses a lightly oil gauze to filter out dirt and particulates, while allowing more air to flow to the intake. For the best flowing filter, with the best performance gain, we always recommend this standard aFe filter media (often called "Pro5R ", which has a blue pre-oiled filter media). We also carry this filter in the "ProDry" grey filter media, which is oil-free for only slightly less performance and no maintenance.

By removing your stock intake air box, you are removing the most restrictive portion of your intake system, increasing both horse power and torque, improving acceleration as well as throttle response.

aFe has reported gains as high as 6 hp and 12 lb/ft torque

For the maximum benefit in performance, we recommend upgrading your engine software with the Shark Injector (Click here for more info on the Shark Injector performance software.)

This aFe intake fits the following BMWs:
1999-2006 E46 BMW 323i 323ci 328i 328ci 330i 330ci 330xi
2001-2006 E46 BMW 325i 325ci 325xi - Only with M54 Engine - Not for SULEV M56 engine
