BMW F80/F82/F87, M3/M4/M2 (S55) Front Mount Air Intake

BMW F80/F82/F87 M3/M4/M2 (S55) Front Mount Air Intake

Maximise airflow and transform the engine bay of your BMW S55-powered M car with this Front Mount Air Intake System — engineered to deliver increased airflow, improved turbocharger efficiency, and an aggressive induction sound unlike any traditional intake setup.

Designed specifically for the twin-turbocharged 3.0L S55 engine, this front mount intake relocates the air filters to the front of the vehicle where cooler, denser air is available. By reducing intake restrictions and optimising airflow pathways, the system allows the turbochargers to breathe more efficiently, resulting in improved throttle response, enhanced turbo spool characteristics, and increased performance potential.

Constructed from high-quality aluminium piping and equipped with high-flow performance air filters, this intake system not only improves performance but also creates an aggressive motorsport-inspired appearance within the engine bay.

Whether you're running a stock vehicle, Stage 1 tune, Stage 2 setup, or upgraded turbochargers, this Front Mount Air Intake is an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking maximum airflow and an unmistakable induction experience.
