Basic Carbon Aluminium Air Scoop for BMW 1 Series E81 E82 E87 E88 — N43 N47 Engines
Unlock direct cold air feed to your BMW 1 Series with the Basic Carbon Aluminium Air Scoop. This performance intake scoop sits neatly behind the kidney grilles and channels high velocity, cool outside air straight to the OEM airbox. Designed for the E-chassis 1 Series with N43 and N47 engines, it is an easy, effective upgrade for daily road use and spirited driving.
Built from lightweight aluminium and finished in a durable black powder coat, this scoop adds a stealth, OEM-plus look while helping your engine breathe more efficiently. We have installed and used this part on our own and customer cars and the feedback has been excellent for quality, fit and function.
