Upgraded aluminum pipe from the air box duct to the turbo inlet snout on N55 engines in F22 M235i, F30 335i, F32 435i, and F87 M2 (2016-2018).
This aluminum version of the original turbo inlet is a 1:1 replacement for the stock plastic intake tube. Unlike the original plastic, this aluminum will never get weak and brittle from exposure to heat and chemicals. If you're doing any work with the charge pipes, crankcase vent, valve cover, or turbo you should consider upgrading this part to prevent a boost / air leak that can have you chasing codes and problems. This installs just like the factory - connection to the airbox duct and to the OE turbo inlet snout and with a connection for the original crankcase vent hose and even includes a Viton o-ring.
This inlet pipe works on the F chassis N55 models such as the M235i, 335i, and 435i. This includes RWD and xDrive AWD “xi” models, F87 M2 (2016-2018 with N55), as well as the Active Hybrid 3 Series and BMW Motorsport M235iR / M240iR factory race car – all of which used the N55 3.0 liter twin-scroll single turbo engine.
