Funk Motorsport BMW M135i N55 Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Management

Funk Motorsport BMW M135i N55 Turbo Blanket Overview

The Funk Motorsport BMW M135i N55 Turbo Blanket is designed specifically for the BMW 1 Series M135i equipped with the N55 engine. This advanced heat management solution helps control extreme turbocharger temperatures, supporting both performance and reliability in demanding road, track, and fast-road applications.

How the Turbo Blanket Improves Your BMW M135i

Turbochargers generate intense heat, which can radiate into the engine bay and affect surrounding components. The Funk Motorsport turbo blanket acts as a thermal barrier, containing this heat within the turbo housing. This helps reduce under-bonnet temperatures, protects sensitive wiring and hoses, and supports more consistent turbo performance by minimising heat soak.

Where the Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket Excels

This turbo blanket is ideal for BMW M135i owners seeking improved thermal management, whether for spirited road driving, track days, or tuned builds. By keeping heat contained, it helps preserve the integrity of engine bay components and can contribute to more reliable power delivery during repeated high-load use. The removable design also allows for routine turbo maintenance without damaging the blanket.
