This MST Performance cold air intake system swaps that box for precision-engineered aluminium pipework designed to cut intake restriction and turbulence, so the six pulls cleaner and sounds far more like the engine you paid for. One part number covers the M135i-era 1 Series, 2 Series, 3 Series and 4 Series from 2012-2016 plus the M2 F87, and every fitting for a direct OEM-replacement install is in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM135i, M235i, 335i and 435i owners who find the standard intake too quiet and too restrictive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 F87 daily drivers adding induction character without touching the rest of the engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStaged N55 builds where the air box is the next restriction to remove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeping one intake spec consistent across an F-chassis N55 project\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLetting The N55 Breathe\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA turbocharged engine is only as responsive as the air path feeding it. MST design their intakes to increase air speed into the engine while minimising turbulence and flow restriction, and the aluminium construction holds its shape where flexible standard plumbing cannot. Fitted to a standard or already-tuned car, the change you notice daily is the induction note - the N55 hardens up audibly under load instead of staying muted behind the factory box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: MST Performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Cold air intake system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: MST-BW-MK3351\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle Application: BMW 1, 2, 3 and 4 Series (F20-F83) 3.0T N55 2012-2016; M2 F87 2016-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Aluminium intake pipework\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Items: All fittings for a direct OEM-replacement install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment type: vehicle and engine specific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment And Setup Checks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is engine-specific: it suits the 3.0T N55 in the F-chassis cars in the table below, with the M2 F87 covered for 2016-2017.
