Blue Coated Cold Air Intake System for BMW 128i & 3-Series – 3.0L Flow & Aesthetics
This performance intake system is engineered to maximize the BMW 3.0L engine's induction volume. By replacing the restrictive factory rubber ducting and air box with a high-velocity induction path, this kit allows the inline-six engine to draw in a larger volume of oxygen-rich air with significantly less effort. The result is a more energetic combustion cycle, providing crisper throttle sensitivity and more fluid acceleration, perfectly complementing the balanced performance and smooth power delivery of the E82 and E90 platforms.
Made specifically for the naturally aspirated 3.0L powertrain, this upgrade unlocks hidden efficiency while maintaining the sophisticated drivability of your BMW. In addition to the performance boost, it grants your engine a deeper, more authoritative growl under load, while the unique blue-coated aluminum piping adds a custom, performance-inspired look to your engine bay.
