Pipercross N55 Performance Intake Kit - Cold Air/Induction Open Cone Filter with Carbon Fibre Heat Shield for BMW 135i 235i 335i 435i M135i M235i (F20 F21 F22 F30 F32) - Airbox Delete Upgrade for 1 2 3 4 Series 3.0 Turbo

High‑flow intake system for BMW F Series 1, 2, 3 and 4 with the 3.0 turbo petrol N55

Give your straight‑six the airflow it deserves. This Pipercross open cone air intake replaces the restrictive factory airbox on BMW 135i, 235i, 335i and 435i F Series models, unlocking crisper pedal response, stronger pull through the revs and a richer turbo soundtrack. The lightweight carbon fibre thermal shield isolates the filter from engine bay heat to help deliver cool, dense charge air on spirited road drives and track days.

Perfect for owners searching for a BMW 1 Series F20 F21 performance air intake, BMW 2 Series F22 M235i intake system, BMW 3 Series F30 335i airbox upgrade or BMW 4 Series F32 435i cone filter kit. A proven choice for N55 enthusiasts and race teams who want reliable flow and filtration.
