BMW Intake Parts for BMW 3 Series F31 (2014+)

This is a drop-in stock replacement aFe performance air filter that installs into your BMW's factory airbox. This version used 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. We also carry this filter in the "ProDry" grey filter media, which is oil-free for only slightly less performance and no maintenance.

Fits in vehicles with the following engines: B46 2.0L, B58 3.0L

It is recommended for any vehicle where the boost pressure has been increased by an ECU software upgrade and for unmodified vehicles operating in warmer climates, as a solution to the many failures that have occurred, where the original rubber diaphragm splits, which causes a loss of boost pressure. Unfortunately the failure doesn’t always result in a check engine light as the valve can still be blown open by the boost pressure, so you may not be aware that you are losing power due to this.

Our alternative is a fully engineered solution offering significantly improved reliability. Our valve is piston based with no diaphragm to fail, and of all aluminium construction. It replaces the original unit with a pressure/vacuum operated piston valve that still also retains the desirable OEM ECU control over valve actuation.

7" Tall Air Filter:
This intake system utilizes an oil-free, 7" tall conical 360-degree radial flow performance air filter with 5-layers of progressive finer mesh cotton media providing maximum airflow and performance.

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

Black Cover w/ Auxiliary Air Inlet:
This carbon fiber look cover is constructed with lightweight vacuumed formed ABS plastic for underhood appearance. A urethane plug is also included if you wish to block off the auxiliary air inlet.

Hassle-Free Installation:
All clamps, coupling and hardware are included for hassle-free installation. This is a direct bolt-on kit that requires no cutting or drilling on factory parts.

Note 1:
Does NOT fit Convertible models.

Note 2:
This product is not currently CARB exempt and is not available for sale in California or for use on any vehicle registered with the California Department of Motor Vehicle.

Heatsoak is one of the obstacles to making big power from turbocharged engines. The stock intercooler design is commendable for single runs at the stock boost levels, but add any more boost and the system is quickly overwhelmed. As the ECU corrects for heat soak, the boost will be decreased and power reduced. Installing an upgraded intercooler is essential to keeping the engine computer from restraining boost as temperatures climb and helps to maintain boost levels even in the face of elevated turbocharger temperatures. The Evolution Racewerks Competition intercooler is much larger than stock, providing more surface area for cooling air to pass through. Even heat soak at low speeds is reduced, making this a worthwhile addition even for stock or mildly tuned engines.

Available in either Brushed, Polished or Type III Hard Anodized Black, this intercooler looks great and holds up! The hard anodized will not only give your car the stealthy look but will also protect the intercooler fins from damage. Without any reduction in thermal efficiency, hard anodizing will prevent your fins from getting deformed as easily from daily driving or road debris. It also has the added benefit of not drawing attention to the fact that the vehicle has been modified. 

The Full Kit consists of everything included in the Standard Kit but adds the Turbo to Intercooler Pipe Kit (TIC Pipe). Increase throttle response, as well as decrease turbo lag, are the benefits of the new TIC Pipe Kit.  With the Full Kit, ALL the factory rubber and plastic intercooler pipes will be replaced.  You will have full hard piping throughout your system.

Based out of Nevada, Evolution Racewerks stays at the forefront of performance BMW technology and offers top quality aftermarket parts ahead of the competition. Proven performance gains and an exhausting attention to detail is making ER one of the top names in the industry.
