aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake - BMW X1 (E84) - 2.0L Turbo N20
The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake replaces the factory air box and intake tract on the E84 BMW X1 with the 2.0L turbo N20. A 178mm (7in) tall conical Pro 5R filter with an 89mm (3-1/2in) flange sits behind a one-piece heat shield, and a 76mm (3in) mandrel-bent tube in wrinkle-black powder coat carries the air to the turbo.
The 18-gauge steel heat shield comes as one piece and bolts to the factory mounting locations, keeping hot engine-bay air away from the filter. aFe rates the system at 47% more airflow than stock, and its dyno testing shows up to +8 kW (+11 hp) and +19 Nm.
Note: Suits the E84 BMW X1 with the 2.0L turbo N20 four-cylinder. Installation by a professional is recommended.
