Purpose and compatibility with the N55 engine

The presented intake kit has been developed for F-series BMW vehicles equipped with the turbocharged N55 petrol engine, including the popular 135i, 335i, 435i versions and the sporty M2 model. The induction kit air cone design enables more direct air intake, which is particularly beneficial when increasing power or during more intensive vehicle use.

Compared to the stock solution, this type of intake system allows for reduced flow losses, which translates into better stability of engine operating parameters under higher loads. It is a solution frequently chosen by users who expect more dynamic engine characteristics without interfering with the engine control electronics.

Air Cone intake system design

The induction kit air cone is based on an open cone filter that provides a large filtration surface area with compact dimensions. This type of solution promotes free airflow, which is essential in turbocharged engines where the demand for air increases with boost pressure.

The element belongs to the Lines, hoses and pipes group, meaning it works with other components of the intake system, such as connecting pipes, vacuum lines, or air ducts. Proper routing of the airflow from the inlet to the turbocharger is crucial for maintaining stable pressure and temperature of the intake air.

Use in modifications and service

This MST Performance intake kit will work well both when replacing a worn-out part and during a planned upgrade of the intake system in BMW F20, F30, F32, and F87 M2 cars. It can be used as part of a larger project, including an intercooler, exhaust system, or engine software modifications.

In practice, installing such a kit allows for:

• achieving a more direct engine response to throttle input,
• increasing airflow stability at higher RPMs,
• better utilization of the turbocharger's potential in the mid and high load range.

The product is marked as Unbranded, which in practice means it is not signed with the vehicle manufacturer's logo, but is based on solutions used in MST Performance kits, popular among users modifying intake systems.

Product condition and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered item is in the used parts category, which allows for significant cost savings on intake system upgrades while maintaining the functionality required for daily use. For many users, this is a reasonable compromise between price and technical capabilities, especially for cars used both daily and occasionally for more dynamic driving.

If you are interested in the broader context of using second-hand components, it is worth checking out the guide on the quality of used body components and more – you can find it in the article on replacing body parts with used car parts, which discusses the practical aspects of selecting dismantled parts.

Expanding upgrades within the intake system
