NEW RELEASE: Dinan Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake for F2x M240i, F3x 340i and F3x 440i
Product Description: Following in the footsteps of the immensely popular and heralded intake for the BMW N55 engine, the next generation of 6 cylinder intake takes the same path to success. Improve upon the factory design by increasing flow via a larger air box and filter element thereby improving throttle response and lessening the strain on the turbocharger for maximum efficiency. While box and filter enlargement and redesign is a major factor in ultimately producing a more potent intake they are not the only variables in creating a more efficient design either. The devil is in the details which is where Dinan thrives. Coupled with maintaining Dinan's standard practice of utilizing a sealed system to ensure as much cold, outside air as possible is employed Dinan engineers focused their attention on the intake pipe itself where numerous improvements could be made. In factory configuration the intake tube comes complete with baffling and a small helmholtz chamber to reduce unwanted sound. As a byproduct these features also cause a more turbulent air flow path which robs the factory system of potential power. These 2 specific details are diametrically opposed to our intended markets desires so the removal of these features was paramount. Through numerous iterations a carbon fiber intake tube was developed that eliminated flow disruptions and allowed the natural sound of an unimpeded intake tract to sing. All told this thorough methodology of design allows the Dinan carbon fiber cold air intake for the B58 engine to elicit gains of 15 HP and 13 TRQ @ 6000 RPM on a completely stock vehicle. An impressive feat on today's turbocharged engines. Not to be outdone by the performance side of the equation the B58 intake also is completely made up of carbon fiber unlike 6 cylinder intakes of the past where a mix of materials was used. Not only is the intake completely carbon construction but the quality of the material has been improved over previous generations as well. While looks are surely important, and this piece has that department covered in spades, the improved construction and coating also guarantees that the appearance of the engine bay with the Dinan intake will not be marred over time. Built to present well, perform well, and last the duration, the Dinan B58 carbon fiber cold air intake is a modification that is a must for any high high performance build. Benefits of the Dinan Carbon Fiber High Flow Air Intake for the F22/F23 M240i, F30/F34 340i and F32/F33/F36 440i:

Im loving it so far. Turbo spools faster now, so that is great. And the sound is amazing under a load.

If it was made it out of black plastic instead of carbon fiber, it would look better, they could sell it for a lot less, and then I might actually buy one.
I'll just never understand the appeal of exposed carbon fiber.

Bottom part of the intake is unchanged so in theory it would still be physically possible but it has never been tested in house so not sure it would provide any benefit to be honest. If you try it let us know how it works out. |

If history is any indication however a stage 2 tune will require the intake. |

Should be, I thought that was the primary purpose of getting the elite over the sport.

I meant a flash on the car's ECU (like the APR VW tunes), not on the piggyback ECU. Which, by the way, I never had any problems with on both of my GTIs. And now that they (APR & Dinan) are both owned by the same parent company and located in the same HQ, I'm sure they're sharing technology and expertise.

Yes, but not a stage 2 upgrade from Dinan.

I get the feeling Dinan isn't going to start selling flash tunes, at least not warrantied flash tunes. However, if they did, I would most likely try it out even though I had to remove my Stage 1. I like all my Dinan parts, can't wait to get this CAI on this weekend
