The difference: for cars covered by the approval (particulate filter, dual-clutch gearbox, rear-wheel drive) the inspection appointment is dropped entirely - keep the documents in the car and you are done. The kit also fits cars with a manual gearbox or without a particulate filter, but those then need an individual inspection (see the road-legality notes).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complete kit from Ramair - an established British manufacturer with decades of experience in performance air filters - is designed as a bolt-in solution for the whole S55 engine bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the kit contains\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplete pipework suitable for the S55 engine bay\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2× dry Ramair Proram performance air filters (oil-free, washable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeat shields with carbon covers - functional and good-looking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll brackets and fixings - a complete bolt-in solution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart type approval as documentation to keep in the car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the intake really does for your S55\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30 to 40 % more air flow:\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Ramair Proram filters deliver measurably more air to the twin-turbo than the factory enclosed airbox\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFaster boost build-up:\u003c\/strong\u003eMore air volume at the inlet means a more direct response and shorter reaction times when the load changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA sporty intake sound:\u003c\/strong\u003eThe distinctive intake roar comes through clearly in the engine bay and the twin-turbo becomes audible - nothing is muffled by an enclosed airbox\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon heat shields:\u003c\/strong\u003eProtection from engine bay heat plus a visibly high-quality look under the bonnet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-maintenance and long-lasting:\u003c\/strong\u003eThe oil-free filters are washable and retain 100 % of their performance after cleaning - no costly replacement intervals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePart type approval - the regulatory advantage over a §19.3 certificate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany competing intake kits on the market come with a §19.3 parts certificate.

The enclosed part type approval, however, applies\u003cstrong\u003eonly to cars with a petrol particulate filter, a dual-clutch gearbox and rear-wheel drive\u003c\/strong\u003e- which applies to the later S55 models. On those cars the intake can be used legally without registration; the approval documents are kept in the vehicle. The kit also fits cars with a manual gearbox or without a particulate filter, but those then need an individual inspection (§21 StVZO, German law) by an approved engineer. If you are combining it with an exhaust system, a downpipe or software tuning, it is best to clarify the right paperwork with us in advance.
