This is a cold air intake upgrade designed specifically for non-turbo BMW 3 Series E9x models with the 3.0L naturally aspirated engine (N52/N53). 

🔧 Key Features

✅ Improved Power & Torque

  • Increases airflow significantly over the stock system — boosting power by up to ~12 HP and ~15 lb-ft of torque.  

✅ Higher Airflow Efficiency

  • Outflows the factory intake by around 56%, allowing the engine to breathe better.  

✅ Sealed Intake Design

  • Fully sealed airbox helps reduce intake of warm engine bay air for denser, cooler air intake.  

✅ High-Flow Filter

  • Includes a washable/reusable 6” conical air filter with inverted top (Pro DRY S dry filter) for easy maintenance and long life.  

✅ Fit & Finish

  • Attractive vacuum-formed ABS plastic cover (often with carbon-fiber look) for a clean underhood appearance.  

🚗 Compatibility

Fits these BMW 3 Series models with 3.0L non-turbo inline-6 engines (typically N52/N53):

  • BMW 128i (2008–2013)
  • BMW 325i / 325xi (2006)
  • BMW 328i / 328xi (2007–2013)
  • BMW 330i / 330xi / 330Ci (2006)  

Note: Some listings extend to model years up to 2013 since the E9x platform didn’t change significantly for this intake fitment. 


🛠️ Installation & Usage

  • Bolt-on install using existing factory mounting locations. No cutting or drilling required.  
  • No ECU tuning needed for basic installation (though tuning may optimize gains).  
  • Expect noticeable throttle response improvement and a more efficient intake flow.  

🔎 General Notes

  • Power gains are modest but solid for a naturally aspirated engine without other mods.  
  • Users often report better throttle feel and a slight improvement in engine sound.  
  • Filter is reusable and only requires periodic cleaning.
