aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake - BMW 3 Series (E9X) - 3.0L N52
The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 is an open-element intake for the E9X BMW 3 Series with the naturally aspirated 3.0L N52 six. A cross-linked polyethylene housing surrounds the filter to block engine heat while leaving it on show, and it connects straight to the factory air inlet scoop. The open design also gives a stronger induction sound.
Fitment Note
Suits the E9X 3 Series with the 3.0L N52 (non-turbo); aFe also lists the E82/E88 128i. Throttle body spacer 46-31011 fits with this intake; ask our team. Fits cars with or without active steering.
A 7 in (178mm) tall radial filter on a 4 in (102mm) flange feeds a computer-designed, dyno-tuned tube, and a bellows coupling seals it to the throttle body. aFe's dyno testing shows up to +7.5 kW (+10 hp) and +11 Nm with the Pro 5R filter, with airflow up to 84% better than the factory intake.
Options: Pro DRY S is a dry, oil-free three-layer synthetic media that cleans with soap and water; aFe measured +6.7 kW (+9 hp), +11 Nm and 67% more airflow. Pro 5R is a five-layer oiled cotton gauze media, each layer finer than the last, for the most airflow; aFe measured +7.5 kW (+10 hp), +11 Nm and 84% more airflow.
Installation by a professional is recommended.
