Ramair Pleated Intake Kit with Carbon Lid for BMW GXX B48
The Ramair Pleated Intake Kit is designed specifically for BMW G-series B48 engines (pre-2022 models only). This upgrade allows your engine to breathe more easily, leading to improved performance and a more appealing look under the bonnet.
What This Intake Kit Does
The factory airbox is mainly focused on quiet operation and cost, which can restrict airflow. The Ramair kit replaces this with:
- Enhanced airflow for quicker throttle response and stronger mid-range power.
- A more pronounced turbo sound while keeping volume levels acceptable.
- A heatshield that helps prevent heat soak while idling.
- A smooth intake pipe that reduces turbulence for better air flow.
Key Features
This kit is a direct replacement for the stock intake, utilising existing factory mounting points for easy installation. No cutting or drilling is required. The main components include:
- Black formed heatshield to block hot air from the engine bay.
- Ramair dual-layer performance foam filter.
- Two-piece top cover that gives a clean, OEM+ appearance.
- Smooth rotomoulded intake pipe.
- Complete fitting kit with all necessary brackets and fixings.
Performance Benefits
This simple bolt-on upgrade suits both standard and tuned vehicles. While an ECU remap (a software adjustment for the engine management system) isn’t necessary, vehicles already remapped may see additional improvements from the enhanced airflow.
Fitment Information
The Ramair Foam Intake Kit is compatible with popular BMW G-series models fitted with the B48 petrol engine, including various GXX 2.0 turbo applications. To confirm fitment with your specific vehicle, please use the vehicle lookup tool on the Progressive Parts website or check the Vehicle Fitment tab for full details.
Installation and Care
Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. The kit is fully bolt-on, requiring no permanent modifications to your vehicle.
For optimal performance, clean and re-oil the foam filter regularly, or more often in dusty driving conditions. We recommend using the Ramair maintenance kit for best results.
