aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake - BMW 3 Series (E46) - 2.5L/2.8L/3.0L
The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 suits the E46 BMW 3 Series with the 2.5L, 2.8L or 3.0L six (M52 and M54). A one-piece powder-coated heat shield with an integrated clip bolts straight to the factory air duct and keeps engine bay heat away from the pre-oiled cone filter, and a moulded intake tube with a smoothing coupler leads the air into the intake tract.
aFe's dyno testing shows up to +4.5 kW (+6 hp) and +16 Nm. The heat shield uses the factory mounting points, and the filter's polyurethane frame is made to last through many cleaning cycles.
Note: Suits E46 3 Series six-cylinder models with the M52 or M54 engine (323i, 325i, 328i, 330i), not the M3. Installation by a professional is recommended.
Features

- Bolts directly to the factory air duct
- Computer-designed moulded intake tube
