aFe BMW N20 Momentum Pro DRY S / Pro 5R Cold Air Intake for 220i, 228i, 320i, 328i, 420i, 428i
Unlock real, repeatable performance from your BMW N20 turbo engine with the aFe Momentum sealed cold air intake. Proven on the dyno to add up to 10 hp and 14 lb-ft with up to 42% more airflow than the factory airbox, this bolt-on intake transforms throttle response, turbo spool and induction sound while protecting intake temps with a sealed one-piece housing.
Choose your filter to suit your driving style: Pro DRY S (oil-free, easy maintenance) or Pro 5R (oiled 5-layer cotton gauze for maximum flow). Both options drop straight into OEM mounting points and utilise the factory front air duct for direct cold air feed.
We run these intakes on customer cars and in our own builds. Feedback has been consistently excellent for drivability, sound and quality. It looks factory, fits perfectly and performs exactly as advertised.
