Cold Air intake for BMW F30 228i 320i 328i 420i 428i (2012-2016) 2.0L Turbo Engine

Upgrade your N20/N26 engine with a precision cold air intake designed to feed your turbo the dense, cool air it craves—delivering sharper throttle response and a more aggressive driving character.

Give Your BMW the Air It Deserves

The F-series BMW with the N20 or N26 engine is known for its balance of efficiency and performance, but the factory intake setup prioritizes quiet operation over breathing capacity. Under hard acceleration, that restrictive piping creates a bottleneck, limiting how much air reaches your turbo when you need it most. This performance cold air intake removes those constraints, opening up a direct path for cooler, oxygen-rich air to flow freely into the engine—exactly what your turbocharged four-cylinder needs to deliver consistent power.

Built specifically for the compact engine bay of 2-Series, 3-Series, and 4-Series models, this system replaces the stock components with dual intake pipes that route air efficiently while staying protected from engine heat. The result is quicker turbo spool, crisper acceleration, and a noticeably more responsive pedal feel—plus that satisfying induction sound that reminds you there's real performance under the hood.

Key Features at a Glance

• Dual Heat Shield Design: Blocks hot engine bay air to maintain cooler intake temperatures for denser oxygen content and better combustion.
• High-Flow Intake Piping: Eliminates factory restrictions, allowing your turbo to breathe freely across the entire RPM range.
• Improved Throttle Response: Reduces intake lag for more immediate power delivery when you press the accelerator.
• Enhanced Engine Sound: Adds a sportier intake note and amplifies turbo spool for a more engaging driving experience.
• Complete Hardware Kit: Includes all silicone boots, clamps, gaskets, and fasteners needed for a secure, leak-free installation.

Installation & Fitment

This is a bolt-on upgrade designed for straightforward installation, though professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fitment and performance. All necessary hardware is included. Before starting, disconnect the negative battery terminal and allow the engine to cool completely. After installation, leave the battery disconnected for at least one minute to allow the ECU to adapt to the new airflow characteristics.

Built for Durability

Engineered with high-temperature silicone couplers and precision-formed intake pipes, this system is designed to withstand the heat and vibration of daily driving and spirited use. The dual heat shields provide reliable thermal protection, ensuring consistent performance even during extended drives.
