Air Intake Scoops for BMW E90 E92 E93 (2005-2011)

Maximize High-Speed Intake Pressure on Your BMW E90 E92 E93 N54 & N52 Series

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for BMW 3-Series owners running the N-Series engine family, including the N52 naturally aspirated and N54/N55 turbocharged platforms.

The Problem: The factory intake tract on the BMW N-Series is designed for noise suppression first and performance second. By the time fresh air reaches your airbox, it has lost velocity navigating the plastic radiator shrouding. For turbocharged engines like the N54, this restriction contributes to higher Intake Air Temperatures (IATs) and slower spool times during spirited driving.

The Solution: We engineered these AVT Ram-Air Scoops to fundamentally change the intake geometry. By placing precision-angled aluminum collectors directly behind the kidney grilles, we capture high-pressure air that would otherwise bounce off the radiator support and force-feed it into the intake snorkel. It’s the most effective way to ensure your engine isn’t gasping for air at highway speeds.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• True Dynamic Ram-Air Effect: By utilizing the aerodynamic pressure build-up at the front of the car, these scoops increase the volume of air reaching the filter, especially effective at speeds above 35mph.
• Aircraft-Grade Durability: Unlike cheap plastic alternatives that warp under engine bay heat, these are laser-cut from 5052 aluminum and professionally powder-coated to withstand years of debris and heat cycles.
• OEM+ Integration: This is a direct bolt-on modification. You get better throttle response and lower intake temps without having to cut, drill, or modify your factory airbox or radiator support.

Common Questions

Will these air intake scoops fit my 2007-2011 BMW 328i or 335i?
Yes, these scoops are a direct fit for 2005-2011 BMW 3-Series E90, E91, E92, and E93 models equipped with the factory intake snorkel, including the 325i, 328i, 330i, 335i, and 335d.

Do I need to cut or drill my factory airbox or radiator support to install them?
These are a direct bolt-on upgrade that installs without any cutting, drilling, or permanent modification. They mount directly behind the front kidney grilles and feed into the factory intake snorkel.

What material are these intake scoops made from?
They are laser-cut from 5052 aluminum and finished with a protective powder coat to resist engine bay heat and road debris.

Do these scoops work with the factory airbox?
Yes, they are designed to integrate directly with the factory front radiator-support intake snorkel to channel high-pressure frontal air into the airbox, especially at highway speeds above 35 mph.

Which BMW engines are compatible with this kit?
This kit is built for 2005-2011 E9X 3-Series models running the N51, N52, N54, N55, and M57 diesel engine platforms, as well as international 4-cylinder and diesel E9X models using the standard front snorkel.
