open intake system suitable for BMW M140i, M240i, 340i, 440i B58 – Ramair

description

The Ramair Proram Series intake kit is suitable for all BMW models with the B58 engine (3.0L twin-scroll turbo inline six-cylinder) – from M140i over M240i up to 340i and 440i of the F-series. It replaces the standard airbox with an open intake system featuring a cone filter, aluminum intake pipe and heat shield.

The laser-cut heat shield with carbon fiber covers encapsulates the cone filter from the hot engine compartment. Air from the factory-installed cold air intake is directed around the filter, keeping the intake temperature low. The double-angular intake manifold reduces turbulence in front of the compressor wheel and smooths the airflow towards the turbocharger.

As a result, the airflow to the turbo increases, the responsiveness improves and the intake noise of the B58 becomes significantly more present – especially under load and when revving up.

Highlights

• Mounting at factory-installed mounting points and rubber mounts – without drilling
• Laser-cut heat shield with carbon covers for low intake temperatures
• Double tangential aluminum intake pipe reduces turbulence in front of the turbocharger.
• Proram cone filter with pleated aluminum filter medium (washable and oilable)
• Higher airflow and significantly increased intake noise

Filter element from Proram (Ramair's own brand) with washable and re-oilable aluminum filter medium. Hose connections made of silicone, secured with stainless steel hose clamps.
