Product Description

The aFe 51-82202 Momentum GT Cold Air Intake with Pro DRY S filter is a sealed performance intake system designed for turbocharged BMW models powered by the N55 3.0-liter inline-6 engine - including the 335i, 435i, M135i, and M235i variants across the 2012-2016 model years. This direct-fit system replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a one-piece sealed housing featuring auxiliary air inlets and horizontal louvers that draw in cooler ambient air, improving engine breathing and throttle response. The large, oil-free Pro DRY S synthetic filter offers durable, washable filtration while maintaining high airflow capacity.

Featuring a dyno-tuned CAD-designed intake tube and premium hardware, this intake outflows the factory unit by up to approximately 56 %, contributing to estimated gains of around +11-12 HP and +15 lb-ft of torque under ideal conditions. The integrated sight window allows quick visual inspection of filter condition without removal, and the sealed design helps isolate the intake from hot engine bay air. Easy bolt-on installation uses existing mounting points with no cutting or drilling required. Note that this intake is not currently CARB exempt and may not be legal for sale or use in California and certain other states - always check local emissions regulations before purchase.
