Injen 01-06 BMW 330i E46 3.0L (M54) L-6 Wrinkle Black Short Ram Intake w/ Enc Heat Shield & Adapter

This Injen SP Series Short Ram Air Intake system is designed specifically for your 2001-2006 BMW 330i with the M54 3.0L L6 engine. What you get in the box is the intake tubing, a custom heat shield with a top lid, a serviceable SuperNano-Web dry air filter, and all the necessary hardware and instructions for installation. This setup helps your engine breathe more freely, potentially leading to a noticeable increase in horsepower and torque.

The intake tube is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, offering a smooth path for air to enter the engine, which helps reduce restrictions compared to the factory setup. The included heat shield is crucial because it helps block hot engine bay air from entering the intake, ensuring cooler, denser air reaches the engine for better performance. Injen's patented tuning process is built into this intake, aiming to maintain a safe air-fuel ratio across the power band. The SuperNano-Web dry filter is designed for increased airflow and good filtration, and it can be cleaned and reused, making it a solid option for the long run.

Beyond the performance gains, many owners appreciate the aggressive and throaty engine tone this intake produces under acceleration. This particular version comes in a wrinkle black finish for a clean look under the hood. While this intake is designed as a direct fit, remember it is not CARB exempt and cannot be shipped to California or used on vehicles registered there.
