BMW Intake Parts for BMW F82 M4 S55 3.0L

BMW S55 Open Intake offers a substantial upgrade from the factory M3/M4 intake system, enhancing both performance and sound. Designed for BMW enthusiasts and car aficionados, this intake system provides improved airflow while seamlessly integrating with OEM inlet ducting and stock mounting locations. The intake features aluminum inlet pipes, which are more cost-effective compared to carbon fiber alternatives but still deliver excellent performance.

Features and Benefits:

• Improved Airflow: Designed to enhance intake noise and overall performance.
• Seamless Fit: Integrates perfectly with OEM inlet ducting and stock mounting locations.
• Aluminum Construction: Provides a lower-cost alternative to carbon fiber while maintaining durability.
• Precise MAF Scaling: Ensures correct air-fuel ratios by matching factory MAF scaling.
• High-Quality Components: Includes 6061-T6 black anodized aluminum MAF sensor flange and vacuum line port.
• Effective Heat Shields: One-piece aluminum design with wrinkle black powder coating and pre-cut gold heat tape to protect against heat.
• High-Flow Air Filters: Conical filters made from 8-ply oiled cotton gauze with a bellmouth flange to reduce turbulence and maximize airflow.

Note: Photos may show the carbon fiber version; you will receive black powder-coated aluminum inlet pipes.

This product is not for sale or use in California on any pollution-controlled vehicle per the California Air Resources Board regulations.

BMWs turbocharged S55 engine uses a water-to-air charge air cooling system, with a front-mounted heat exchanger responsible for heat dissipation. Unfortunately, the factory single-row, 27mm core design is quick to heat soak under high load, leading to excessive intake air temperatures and potential limp mode conditions especially on modified or track-driven cars.

To solve this issue, we've developed a drop-in upgrade over the factory unit. Engineered for durability and maximum cooling efficiency, this heat exchanger is a must-have for high-horsepower street builds, spirited canyon driving, and extended track sessions. Built from TIG-welded 5052 aluminum, our design eliminates the factory plastic end tanks one of the systems most common failure points. Each heat exchanger features CNC-machined billet aluminum hose connections, mounting flanges, and brackets for perfect OE fitment and trouble-free installation.

By replacing the OEM 27mm single-row core with a robust 35mm dual-row design, this heat exchanger dramatically increases both cooling capacity and surface area. Frontal area jumps from 307mm to 475mm, resulting in a 100% increase in coolant volume and significantly improved heat-soak resistance. The outcome? Lower, more stable charge air temperatures that help your S55 deliver consistent, reliable power on the street or at the track.
