Ramair Foam Intake Kit with Carbon Lid for BMW GXX B48
Pre 2022 models ONLY
Let your BMW G-series B48 engine breathe more easily with the Ramair Foam Intake Kit. This kit replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a high-flow foam filter and a smooth intake pipe, providing your vehicle with improved performance and a cleaner aesthetic under the bonnet.
What This Intake Kit Does
The stock airbox is mainly designed for quiet operation and cost efficiency, rather than maximum airflow. The Ramair kit enhances the intake path while protecting it from heat in the engine bay. This leads to cooler, less restricted air that boosts engine responsiveness when you accelerate.
- Improved airflow for quicker throttle response and stronger mid-range pull
- Enhanced turbo and induction sound, without excessive volume
- Heatshield reduces heat soak during idling
- Smooth rotomoulded intake pipe minimises turbulence
- Reusable foam filter reduces waste and saves money
Key Features
This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the stock intake on various BMW G-series models equipped with the B48 petrol engine. It efficiently uses the factory mounting points, ensuring that no cutting or drilling is necessary.
Main components include:
- Black formed heatshield to block hot air from the engine bay
- Ramair dual-layer performance foam filter
- Two-piece top cover for a clean, OEM+ look
- Smooth rotomoulded intake pipe
- Complete fitting kit with brackets, fixings, and instructions
This simple bolt-on upgrade is suitable for both standard and tuned vehicles. An ECU remap (software adjustment for the engine control unit) is not mandatory, but vehicles already mapped may benefit from further performance gains due to increased airflow.
Fitment Information
This Ramair Foam Intake Kit fits popular BMW G-series models with the B48 petrol engine, including many GXX 2.0 turbo applications. To ensure compatibility with your specific vehicle, please use the vehicle lookup tool on the Progressive Parts website or check the Vehicle Fitment tab for complete details before ordering.
Installation and Care
This installation is straightforward for anyone confident with basic tools. The kit is fully bolt-on and uses existing mounting points, requiring no permanent alterations to the vehicle.
