BMW F10 / F11 5 Series Open Cold Air Intake System w/ Heat Shield & Ducting | 3.0L N55 Engine - 535i

Unleash the true performance of your BMW F10 / F11 5 Series with our Cold Air Intake System, engineered to improve airflow, reduce heat soak, and sharpen throttle response.

The BMW N55 — a 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 — powers the 535i and is renowned for its smooth power delivery, tuning potential, and reliability when properly supported. While strong from the factory, the restrictive OEM airbox limits how much performance the N55 can unlock. Our upgraded cold air intake system replaces the stock setup with a high-flow filter, precision-fit heat shield, and high-temp silicone hose, giving your turbocharged inline-6 the airflow it needs for more responsive and consistent power.

The semi-closed design is the key. Unlike fully open intakes that pull in excess hot engine bay air, this system provides unrestricted airflow while shielding the filter from heat soak. The result is cooler, denser intake air, translating to improved torque, sharper throttle response, and more consistent performance — especially under tuned boost levels.

With a pre-cut MAF sensor slot and direct OEM mounting points, installation is seamless. To top it off, the intake enhances the driving experience with a deeper induction tone, pronounced turbo spool, and a satisfying blow-off sound every time you step on the throttle.
