aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake - BMW 335i (E9X) / Z4 35i (E89) - 3.0L Twin Turbo N54
The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 suits the N54 twin turbo six in the E9X BMW 335i. A 16-gauge powder-coated steel heat shield replaces the factory airbox and holds two washable Pro 5R cone filters, one for each turbo, and a heat-insulating moulded plastic tube takes over from the factory intake tract.
