Ramair PRORAM Performance Air Intake Kit – BMW 128ti & Mini Cooper GP3 (B48 2.0L Petrol) – PRK-253-BK
The Ramair PRORAM PRK-253-BK is a complete performance air intake kit designed specifically for the BMW 128ti and Mini Cooper GP3, both of which use the 2.0L B48 turbocharged petrol engine. It replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a more efficient intake system, helping the engine breathe more freely for improved throttle response and a more rewarding driving experience.
The pleated filter design is a key feature here. Rather than a standard foam or cotton gauze filter, the pleated panel increases the total surface area available for air filtration. More surface area means better airflow into the engine while still filtering out dust and debris effectively. The result is a cleaner, stronger air supply to the turbocharger – which is the component that forces extra air into the engine to boost power.
What’s Included
- PRORAM pleated performance air filter
- Black powder-coated heat shield – helps keep hot engine bay air away from the intake
- Black silicone intake hose
- CNC-machined MAF housing – the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine; a precision-machined housing ensures an accurate, consistent reading
- Full fitting hardware and step-by-step instructions
What to Expect
Once fitted, you can expect a more immediate throttle response – the engine feels more willing when you press the accelerator. You’ll also notice a more pronounced induction and turbo sound, which is a popular reason many B48 owners make this upgrade. Power gains will vary depending on your vehicle’s tune and condition, but the primary benefit is a freer-flowing intake that supports the engine’s existing performance potential.
The kit is straightforward to fit and comes with everything you need. No specialist tools or fabrication are required.
