aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Si Cold Air Intake - BMW X5 (E70/F15) / X6 (E71/F16) - 3.0L Turbo N55
The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Si Cold Air Intake replaces the factory air box on the BMW X5 (E70/F15) and X6 (E71/F16) xDrive35i with the 3.0L turbo N55. A 360-degree radial flow filter with an 83 x 165mm (3-1/4 x 6-1/2in) flange sits in an oversized one-piece sealed housing that collects more cool air, with a dyno-tuned XLPE tube running to the turbo.
The Si design uses about half the parts of a traditional cold air intake and keeps a stealthy, factory-like look under the bonnet. aFe quotes roughly 45 minutes to fit. Its dyno testing shows up to +18 kW (+24 hp) and +69 Nm with the Pro 5R filter, and up to +16 kW (+21 hp) and +57 Nm with Pro DRY S.
Options: Pro DRY S uses dry, oil-free three-layer synthetic media that washes clean with no oiling, suited to street and light off-road use; it flows 13% more than stock (345 CFM). Pro 5R uses pre-oiled five-layer cotton gauze media for the most airflow, washable and reusable; it flows 15% more than stock (350 CFM).
Note: Suits the xDrive35i with the 3.0L turbo N55 six-cylinder: 2011-2013 X5 (E70), 2014-2018 X5 (F15), 2011-2014 X6 (E71) and 2015-2019 X6 (F16). Installation by a professional is recommended.
