Performance Cold Air Intake System for BMW 535i (2009–2016) F10 / F11 N55 – Enhanced Flow & Sound

Enhance the performance and induction acoustics of your BMW 535i with this precision-engineered Cold Air Intake System. Specifically developed for the N55 3.0L turbocharged engine, this system replaces the restrictive factory air box with a high-volume, streamlined path for air to reach the turbocharger. By delivering cooler, denser air, this kit unlocks sharper throttle response, more consistent power delivery, and a significantly more aggressive turbo induction sound while maintaining the refined drivability expected of the F10 platform.

Designed for enthusiasts who value both performance and an OEM-style aesthetic, this intake features smooth-bore tubing to minimize turbulence and a dedicated heat shield to isolate the filter from power-robbing engine bay heat. Whether for daily commuting or spirited driving, this system allows the N55 engine to breathe more freely, resulting in improved efficiency and a more engaging driving experience.

Key Features

• Optimized Airflow: Smooth intake tubing reduces restriction for improved engine efficiency and turbo spool-up.

• Sharper Response: Noticeably enhances throttle sensitivity and overall driving feel.

• Aggressive Induction Note: Delivers a deeper, sportier sound that highlights the turbocharger's natural acoustics.

• Premium Dry Filter: High-flow dry cone filter provides excellent filtration without the need for oiling.

• Integrated Heat Management: Custom-fit heat shield helps block under-hood heat soak to maintain lower intake temperatures.

• OE-Style Integration: Engineered for a clean, professional appearance that fits perfectly within the engine bay.

• Reliable Construction: Built with durable materials designed for long-term performance and stability.

Installation

Installation Tip:

Unplug the car battery's NEGATIVE GROUND CABLE before installing this product. After the installation is complete, leave the cable disconnected for at least 60 seconds. This allows the vehicle's ECU to reset and properly calibrate for the increased airflow, which helps optimize performance gains and prevents potential check engine light errors. Always perform installation on a completely cool engine to ensure safety.
