BMW Performance Intake Kits for BMW 1 Series E82 (2008-2013)

In BMW's with the N55, the intake system is partially limited. The bottom portion is lightweight and great for feeding cold air to the intake, but the top portion is excessively restrictive. Working with some of the original equipment, this intake continues to utilize the bottom portion of OE ducting and heat shielding, but replaces the top with new high flow ducting and a performance filter. Extensive testing showed up to a 10+ HP gain to the wheels and allows for quicker turbo spool speed. Plus, this design gives you a great sound improvement, letting you hear both the intake and turbo spooling!

Installation and removal is extremely quick and easy, taking only 5 minutes in the driveway!

Features:

• Adds up to 10+ Horsepower
• Dramatic sound improvement
• Super fast install and removal
• Improves throttle response 
• Retains OEM airbox base as a heat shield
• Retains OEM cold air ducting
• Looks great under the hood
• Cleanable and reusable filter
• Made in the USA

Unique One-Piece High-Quality Housing:
A custom CAD designed roto-molded housing made of black, cross-linked, heat resistant polyethylene material eliminates the use of multiple components and ensures the coolest air intake charge available. A large clear sight window allows for filter inspection without removal of the airbox. The auxiliary air inlet allows for the maximum amount of air available for the intake.

High-Quality Tube:
This system uses a high-quality plastic CAD designed, dyno-tuned, roto-molded intake tube to achieve maximum power gains while maintaining a perfect fit.

Large 5-Layer Performance Air Filter:
This Momentum GT intake system was designed around the largest filter possible to allow maximum performance and filtration. This cone filter has a large 4" flange and is 6-1/2" tall. The Pro 5R performance air filter features 5-layers of progressively finer mesh cotton gauze oiled media for better air flow, and is constructed with 100% polyurethane frame for long life and multiple cleaning cycles.

Premium Hardware:
Premium stainless steel clamps and a silicone coupling are used for strength and durability while also providing the most secure installation available. Momentum GT intakes are designed with fewer parts for a quick and simple installation.

Note:
This intake system is not CARB exempt at this time and is not legal for sale in California or use on vehicles registered with the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

This part fits the following BMWs:
2011-2013 E82/88 135i N55
2011-2013 E9X 335i N55
2011-2015 E84 X1 35i

This dual-cone intake for the 135/335/535 is similar to the enclosed carbon fiber intake but without the surrounding air box. If you love the look of the open filters and high-tech carbon fiber, this is the kit for you. High-flow cotton air filters connect to CAD engineered carbon fiber intake tubes for an improvement in air flow. The open filter layout releases more intake roar than the stock muffled intake.

135/335/535 ECS open DCI intake features -

• Designed and engineered using CAD technology for optimal flow and fitment
• Washable/reusable high flow cotton filters (pre-oiled)
• Stainless steel hardware
• Direct replacement for stock air box; integrates seamlessly with stock intake piping
• Beautiful and functional carbon fiber/e-fiberglass construction

Looking to improve your intake without having to tear apart your engine bay? Then this drop-in performance air filter may be the perfect option for you! Allowing for much higher and easier air flow than the stock BMW filter, this filter allows your engine to breathe much easier at any RPM, freeing up horsepower and torque that normally would have been locked away.

Thanks to the direct replacement style of this filter, no modifications need to be made to the intake components. Just pull out your old filter, place this filter in the stock location, and enjoy!

AFE Summer Rebate Form

This Stage 2 Sealed Intake produces up to 12hp and 16lbs. x ft. torque and outflows the factory intake by 56%. Fully enclosed in a molded plastic housing. this air intake system features a reusable air filter that improves airflow for increased horsepower and torque. The housing features auxiliary inlet duct for better airflow as well as a black vacuum formed plastic cover that provides ready access to the filter for servicing. This intake system also features a insulated molded plastic tube that replaces the stock intake tract and directs increased air flow with improved volumetric efficiency for maximum performance.

If you are looking to replace your stock chargepipe for better reliability and higher performance, the Burger Motorsports designed and Phoenix Racing built Performance Aluminum Chargepipe is an excellent choice! This aluminum chargepipe is significantly stronger than the stock plastic pipe and the powder coated aluminum looks great and will resist any corrosion. Plus, this chargepipe features a 3 inch design for optimal flow at all RPMs, prevent restriction that would normally be seen with the stock pipe. This is perfect for someone looking to upgrade a stock or tuned N54!

Specs and Features:

• Aluminum Construction
• Black Powder Coating
• 3" Diameter
• CNC Machined Throttle Body Flange
• Dual 1/8" NPT Bungs
• High Pressure T-Bolt Clamps
• All Required Installation Hardware

O-rings and retaining clip must be reused from the original pipe or purchased new for proper installation.

If you already have the ECS open cone filter for you N54 car then this is the perfect add-on upgrade for your system to really clean up the engine bay and keep your cone filters much cleaner. When you upgrade to the enlcosed filter kit your filters will be surrounded more more consistent cold air and by protecting the filter from engine bay dirt you are reducing the risk of air flow problems from build up.

The ECS Kohlefaser Luft-Technik (Carbon Fiber Air Technology) intake for the 135/335/535 is a beautifully crafted dual-cone intake with a glossy carbon fiber enclosure. Developed in-house using ECS's chassis dyno and state of the art laser scanning and 3D CAD technology, the N54 carbon airbox is a direct replacement for the stock system. Laser scanning allows ECS to produce a finished product that is a perfect fit to the engine bay. All tubing is also made from carbon fiber with each piece designed for optimal flow. The carbon fiber sandwiches a special heat-blocking fiberglass core, insulating the air box from engine bay heat. All of this combines to produce more power and torque over a wider RPM range - up to 13ft-lbs and 18hp when combined with a Cobb software tune, FMIC, and exhaust. And it looks amazing every time you open the hood.

Features:

• Designed and engineered using CAD technology for optimal flow and fitment
• Stainless steel hardware
• Direct replacement for stock air box; integrates seamlessly with stock intake piping
• Beautiful and functional carbon fiber/e-fiberglass construction
