A popular upgrade to the air intake system is a set of air scoops to increase the amount of cool air generated to the intake. These often show through the kidney grills, giving an aggressive look in addition to the performance gains.
Direct more fresh cool air from your BMW's center/nose grills to your intake, with the aFe D.A.S. (Dynamic Air Scoops). These two "scoops" install behind your front grills to direct more airflow into the factory intake snorkel used on the 2008, 2009 (and newer) E82 and E88 1 series BMWs, including 128i and 135i. Scoops are a direct bolt-in install, and include installation instructions and required hardware for a simple install. When combined with a higher flowing filter, such as the aFe stock replacement filter or twin filter system (135i only), these scoops help get the maximum benefit of a higher efficiency filter by providing more cool, fresh outside air directly into the intake snorkel. Both the 3.0 naturally aspirated and twin turbo models (especially the 135i turbo) need this added air flow for best horsepower and torque.
These aFe Intake Scoops fit the following BMWs: 2008+ E82 1 Series Coupe BMW 128i & 135i coupe 2008+ E88 1 Series Convertible BMW 128i & 135i convertible Show More Show Less
These scoops will increase the air volume that enters the engine thus providing a denser air charge. These pair excellently with an aftermarket intake system or a high-flow filter.
