Performance Cold Air Intake System for 2012–2017 BMW N20 / N26 – 2.0L Turbo Airflow

Ensure your BMW's turbocharged engine receives consistent, unrestricted airflow with this precision-engineered cold air intake system. Engineered specifically for the N20 and N26 2.0L engines, this kit replaces the restrictive factory intake piping that is prone to limiting performance during spirited driving. Whether you are maintaining factory settings or looking to maximize your vehicle's potential, this upgrade provides the high-velocity induction path needed for peak performance and increased efficiency.

The factory intake components are designed for silence over speed, often creating bottlenecks that restrict the turbocharger's ability to breathe. By drawing in a larger volume of cooler, oxygen-rich air, this system eliminates those vulnerabilities, providing a smooth air path that remains stable under heavy load. This ensures that power and response remain consistent across the entire RPM range, helping the turbo spool quicker for more immediate acceleration and a more engaging driving experience.

Key Features & Performance Benefits

• Optimized Turbo Induction: Replaces restrictive factory piping with a high-flow system designed to maximize airflow to the manifold.

• Dual Heat Shield Protection: Includes dual heat shields specifically designed to block hot under-hood air, ensuring only cool, dense air enters the engine.

• Instant Throttle Feedback: Eliminates intake lag for more immediate power delivery and sharper acceleration throughout the powerband.

• Comprehensive Hardware Kit: Comes complete with all necessary silicone boots, clamps, strips, and gaskets for a secure and leak-free fit.

• Refined Engine Note: Transforms the driving experience with a sportier intake sound and intensified audible turbo spool.

• Precision Routing: Dual intake pipes are meticulously designed for the F-series engine bay to ensure an unobstructed, direct air path.
