Introduction





Description
High-flow cold air intake kit designed for 2016-2018 BMW F20 120i 430i F30 220i with B48 2.0T engine. Improves turbo response, boosts airflow, delivers sport induction sound, direct bolt-on upgrade.
Product Overview
Factory stock intake systems for BMW B48 2.0T F20 and F30 chassis feature restrictive piping and heat-soaked plastic housing, limiting cold airflow and weakening turbo efficiency. Our upgraded cold air intake kit is precision-engineered for 2016-2018 BMW 120i, 220i and 430i models, replacing the dull stock intake with smooth, high-flow tubing. It effectively reduces intake turbulence, lowers inlet temperature, and increases cold air volume into the B48 engine. This upgrade sharpens throttle response, eliminates turbo lag, and unlocks a crisp sporty induction sound. All OEM sensor ports and mounting points are fully reserved for 100% bolt-on installation without cutting or drilling.
