Description
In the pursuit of delivering an exceptional driving experience at an attractive price point, the 2019+ BMW 330i and 430i have compromised on their inherent character, both inside and out. The stock air box of the 330i, for instance, lacks inspiration and personality, housing a basic panel filter and an intake resonator designed to eliminate turbo and intake noises. However, it is these very noises that performance enthusiasts appreciate. Recognizing these shortcomings, Dinan presents the Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake, a solution that rectifies these flaws and brings out the true potential of your BMW.
The Dinan Cold Air Intake for the 2019+ BMW 330i and 430i addresses these issues by offering a semi-open intake system that allows for a 58% increase in airflow compared to the stock system. This substantial improvement translates into enhanced throttle response and eliminates any potential restrictions when pursuing a high-powered build, such as upgraded turbos or fueling modifications. Moreover, the Dinan intake system removes the intake resonator, resulting in a more aggressive and sporty engine sound that enthusiasts crave.
To achieve the remarkable flow capabilities that set the Dinan intake system apart, the entire lower box of the system, not just the lid, has been meticulously redesigned and enlarged to make use of every available space in the engine bay. This design allows for a custom, free-flowing filter that is 40% larger than the stock filter, maximizing airflow and performance. Additionally, Dinan desired a secondary inlet to effectively fill the enlarged air box and increase the filter's surface area. Extensive testing was conducted to ensure that the added secondary inlet did not cause any unwanted side effects, such as increased intake temperatures. The final iteration of the Dinan intake system features patterned openings on the opposite side of the engine, striking the perfect balance of additional volume without compromising on performance.
While the increased airflow may not yield significant power gains for stock or basic bolt-on equipped vehicles, the Dinan intake system unleashes the full potential of your BMW 330i or 430i. It provides the necessary headroom for those seeking a more potent and robust solution with turbo and fueling upgrades, without the intake system acting as a limiting factor. Furthermore, the secondary air inlets amplify the audible experience, allowing you to appreciate the turbo spool and blow-off valve sounds. This stands in contrast to Dinan's traditional fully sealed systems, where induction noise is less pronounced. The outwardly visible system features immaculate carbon fiber construction, enhancing the aesthetic appeal under the hood and making it a worthwhile investment.
