Elevate your car's performance with the ALTA Cold Air Box, precision-crafted from laser-cut aluminum sheet metal and expertly CNC bent to perfection. This airbox is not only a performance enhancer but also a protector, thanks to its durable black texture powder coating, offering long-term protection with an OEM-inspired appearance.
Key Benefits of the ALTA Cold Air Box:
The high-flow foam filter included with the ALTA Cold Air Box is designed to reduce intake restriction and increase the surface area for clean air ingestion. Unlike cotton and gauze filters, foam filters offer multi-layer filtration, trapping dirt at various levels. This results in improved particulate restriction without compromising horsepower as the filter accumulates dirt.
The ALTA Cold Air Intake System for R53 6-speed manual is available in black or red texture powder coating, allowing you to customize the appearance to your preference.
ALTA Cold Air Intake System, specially designed for the R53 6-speed manual. Crafted from laser-cut aluminum sheet metal and precision CNC bent, this intake system ensures perfection in form and function. Finished with a durable black texture powder coating, it not only offers long-term protection but also delivers an OEM appearance.
The airbox of the ALTA Cold Air Intake seals to the underside of the hood, effectively preventing under-hood heat from infiltrating the intake airstream. This enhancement ensures cooler, denser air intake, resulting in improved engine performance. With the ALTA intake system, your BMW will produce a distinct throaty, deep tone on throttle, accentuating its modified nature. Additionally, it amplifies the sound of your supercharger, whether stock or aftermarket.

When MINI released the F5X platform, every model gained BMW's modern turbocharged B38 and B48 engines. These were an instant upgrade over the outgoing Prince engines, boasting increased reliability, performance potential, and, best of all, a turbocharger! Unfortunately, the factory airbox does its best to hide this, silencing the turbo's character and nixing any chance of driving excitement. Thankfully, the team at ECS set out to improve upon this shortcoming with their Luft-Technik Performance Intake System!
The ECS Luft-Technik Performance Intake System is designed to maximize efficiency, airflow, and induction sound, enhancing your driving experience while completely transforming your engine bay. This intake unlocks an unparalleled auditory experience by eliminating restrictive factory components, thereby freeing up the induction soundtrack for an exhilarating experience. Let your engine breathe!
At the heart of this system is a durable aluminum intake tube, finished in high-quality wrinkle black powdercoat for a premium finish. This intake pipe is 80mm in diameter, ensuring the induction tract is free of restriction and maximizing airflow. A proprietary, ECS-branded bracket is used to secure this pipe to the strut tower, providing a clean mounting solution with minimal movement or flex. To enhance induction noise, this intake system includes a conical air filter that features oiled media for optimal airflow.
Features:
Precision-engineered for a seamless fit on B36/B38 and B46/B48 F5X MINIs
Durable wrinkle black powder-coated aluminum intake tube resists heat and corrosion
Massive 80mm high-flow air filter for increased surface area and better induction sound
