aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake - BMW 5 Series (E60) - 3.0L N52/N53
The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 replaces the factory airbox on the 2006-2009 E60 BMW 5 Series with the 3.0L N52 or N53 six. An 18-gauge powder-coated steel heat shield keeps engine bay heat off the washable cone filter, and a heat-insulating moulded plastic tube takes over from the factory intake tract to the throttle body.
aFe's dyno testing shows up to +6 kW (+8 hp) and +14 Nm and 48% more airflow than the factory intake. The one-piece shield needs little or no assembly and the filter's polyurethane frame is made for many cleaning cycles.
Note: Suits the 2006-2009 E60 525i, 528i and 530i with the 3.0L N52/N53. Installation by a professional is recommended.
