Basic Carbon BMW 1 Series E8x N52/N54 Aluminium Front Kidney Grille Air Intake Scoop - E81 E82 E87 E88 - 125i 128i 130i 135i - Black Powder-Coated Cold Air Scoop - BC99991

Alloy Front Grille Cold Air Feed for BMW 1 Series E8x Six-Cylinder

Give your straight-six the cool charge it deserves with this Basic Carbon alloy induction guide. Sitting neatly behind the front grille on the BMW 1 Series E81, E82, E87 and E88, it channels fresh outside air straight to the stock filter housing, helping maintain a denser intake charge for crisp pedal response and dependable performance in everyday driving and spirited use.

Why this upgrade

• Directs ambient airflow from the grille area to the OE airbox for a cleaner, cooler feed to N52 and N54 engines.
• Helps limit hot engine bay recirculation by extending the stock snorkel and guiding air where it is needed.
• Lightweight aluminium plate with a satin black powdercoat for a smart, corrosion-resistant finish.
• Fully reversible fitment, no cutting or drilling required, no changes to factory drainage.
• Keeps the original filter setup intact while complementing the stock inlet path.
• Simple, quick install behind the grille using existing locations, works in conjunction with the OE scoop.

Compatibility

BMW 1 Series E8x chassis:

• E81, E82, E87, E88
