aFe Rapid Induction Cold Air Intake - BMW 330i (F3X) - 2.0L Turbo B48
The aFe Rapid Induction intake suits the F3X BMW 330i with the 2.0L B46/B48 turbo four. A vacuum-formed ABS cover with an auxiliary air inlet sits over a 7 in (178mm) tall conical radial filter, and a dyno-tuned intake tube made to fit the factory path carries the air to the turbo. A urethane plug is included if you want to block off the auxiliary inlet.
Fitment Note
Suits the 2.0L B46/B48 turbo; aFe also lists the 430i and 230i with this engine. Not for convertible models, because of the factory strut brace.
aFe's dyno testing shows up to +9 kW (+12 hp) and +16 Nm, and the Pro 5R version flows up to 14% more air than the factory intake. All clamps, the coupling and hardware are in the box, and it bolts on with no cutting or drilling.
Options: Pro DRY S is a dry, oil-free three-layer synthetic media that cleans with soap and water. Pro 5R is a five-layer oiled cotton gauze media, each layer finer than the last, for the most airflow. Black has a plain black ABS cover for a stealthy look under the bonnet; Carbon Fibre has a carbon fibre look ABS cover.
Installation by a professional is recommended.
