MST Performance Air Intake Kit – BMW 530i (B48) G30/G31 2017+
If you’re looking to get a little more from your BMW 530i, this air intake kit from MST Performance is a straightforward and effective starting point. Designed specifically for the B48-engined G30 and G31 530i (2017 onwards), it replaces the standard airbox with a freer-flowing setup that lets your engine breathe more easily – improving throttle response and freeing up a noticeable amount of extra power.
What Does It Do?
Your BMW’s factory air intake is designed with noise and emissions regulations in mind, which means it can restrict airflow more than necessary. This MST Performance kit removes that restriction, routing cooler, denser air more directly to the turbocharger. More air means the engine can burn fuel more efficiently, which translates to better throttle response – the engine feels more willing and reacts more quickly when you press the accelerator.
Based on dyno testing (testing on a rolling road to measure power output), MST Performance report gains of up to 12-14bhp. Real-world results will vary depending on the condition of your vehicle and whether it has been tuned, but this kit offers a genuine, measurable improvement whether fitted to a standard car or one that has already been modified. You’ll also notice a more audible induction sound – the intake noise that’s typically muffled by the standard airbox becomes more present, giving the engine a more purposeful feel during acceleration.
What’s Included?
- Black powder-coated heat shield – helps keep hot engine bay air away from the intake, protecting performance
- Black powder-coated inlet pipe
- Red dry pleated performance filter – easy to inspect and clean, no oiling required
- Silicone joiner
- Full fitting hardware and step-by-step installation instructions
The kit is well finished and straightforward to install, making it a practical choice for a home mechanic comfortable with basic engine bay work.
