We have a lot of N52 powered BMWs in the parking lot here at Turner. No, they're not the fastest cars, and they never will be - but it shines where the more expensive N54 lacks, reliability. There is something innately satisfying about the linear, smooth powerband that comes from BMW's signature inline 6 cylinder platform. We love the N52 for what it is: the perfect daily. And we decided to make it even better by designing an intake that eliminates restriction and increases air flow allowing for max gains of 9 WHP and 13 WTQ down low in the power band. The power numbers are, however, not the most impressive part of this intake. Our intake really makes N52 powered BMWs feel even more linear and predictable, capitalizing on this powerplant's existing strength.

Like with any of our projects, our in-house team of engineers designed this intake all in CAD. Our heat shield is CNC aluminum, powder coated wrinkle black and featuring pre-installed edge trim and a Turner brand plate. The heat shield retains factory air scoop compatibility, allowing maximum intake of cold, fresh air. Our N52 intake features a 6061-T6 CNC machined aluminum MAF housing - this maintains factory MAF scaling. Lastly, as with all of our intake the filter is both cleanable and reusable - constructed from 8 ply oiled cotton gauze with a bell mouth inlet that maximizes flow and filtration efficiency.
E9x N52 intake installation is very simple and well documented on the web, but we made up our own installation instructions, see below:
3" conical high flow reusable, cleanable air filter
8 ply oiled cotton gauze construction
Bell mouth inlet to maximize flow and filtration efficiency
Not for sale or use in the state of California on any pollution-controlled vehicle as per the California Air Resources Board.
