BMW F3X B48 2.0L 3 inch Aluminium Air Intake - Black and Red

Product Overview

This 3 inch aluminium air intake is designed for BMW F3X-series models with the B48 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder. The kit replaces the restrictive factory intake with an aluminium tube and open filter, giving the engine a more direct air supply and a sportier turbo sound. The black and red colour combination lifts the appearance of an otherwise plain engine bay, making it a popular first modification for owners of these models.

Key Features and Benefits

• 3 inch aluminium intake tube
• Black and red finish
• Open filter for less restriction
• Designed for the B48 2.0L turbo engine
• Retrofit upgrade over the stock intake

Installation and Usage

To install, remove the factory air box and inlet ducting, fit the aluminium tube and filter, and reconnect all sensors and breather hoses. Tighten clamps carefully to avoid air leaks. Ensure the filter sits clear of hot engine parts. Professional installation is recommended, particularly on later F-series models where the B48 replaced earlier engines mid-production. Inspect and clean the filter at regular service intervals.
