BMW 220i B48 Turbo Blanket by Funk Motorsport

Targeted Heat Management for BMW 2 Series Turbo Engines

The Funk Motorsport BMW 220i B48 Turbo Blanket is engineered for owners seeking advanced thermal protection for their turbocharged 2 Series. Specifically designed for the B48 engine found in the BMW 220i (F22/F23, 2015+), this turbo blanket helps manage extreme heat generated by the turbocharger, supporting both reliability and performance in demanding road or track conditions.

How This Turbo Blanket Supports Your BMW 220i

Turbocharged engines produce significant radiant heat, which can degrade nearby wiring, hoses, and plastic components. The Funk Motorsport turbo blanket insulates the turbo housing, reducing heat transfer into the engine bay. This containment helps:

• Lower under-bonnet temperatures, protecting sensitive components
• Reduce the risk of heat soak, supporting consistent turbo response
• Improve long-term reliability for both daily drivers and performance builds

This product is particularly useful for BMW 220i owners who drive spiritedly, participate in track days, or have modified their vehicles for increased boost or power.

Where This Upgrade Makes a Difference

Owners of the BMW 220i B48 engine often notice high engine bay temperatures after extended spirited driving or during track use. This turbo blanket is ideal for:

• Performance builds targeting higher power outputs
• Track day and club motorsport vehicles
• Daily drivers seeking additional engine bay protection
• Enthusiasts aiming to extend the life of engine bay components

By containing turbo heat, this blanket helps maintain more stable intake and under-bonnet temperatures, which can support more consistent performance and reduce the likelihood of heat-related failures.
