BMW F97, F98/ X3M, X4M Open Air Intake

BMW F97/F98 X3M/X4M Open Air Intake

Enhance the performance, induction sound, and engine bay aesthetics of your BMW F97 X3M or F98 X4M with this Open Air Intake System — engineered to maximise airflow to the S58 twin-turbocharged engine while delivering an aggressive intake sound under acceleration.

Designed specifically for the BMW X3M and X4M, this high-performance intake system replaces the restrictive factory airbox with an open-air design that allows the turbochargers to breathe more efficiently. By reducing intake restriction and increasing airflow, the system helps improve throttle response, turbo spool characteristics, and overall engine efficiency.

Manufactured using premium aluminium alloy intake piping and high-flow reusable air filters, this intake system is built for maximum durability while providing exceptional filtration and unrestricted airflow. The open-air design also allows the distinctive induction and turbo spool noises of the S58 engine to become significantly more pronounced, creating an exhilarating driving experience every time you accelerate.

Whether your vehicle is completely stock or running Stage 1, Stage 2, or hybrid turbo upgrades, this Open Air Intake is the perfect supporting modification for unlocking additional performance and sound.
