3DDesign Carbon High-Flow Intake System for Fxx BMW M135i, M2, M235i, M3, and M4

3DDesign Carbon High-Flow Intake System for Fxx BMW M135i, M2, M235i, M3, and M4

The 3DDesign Carbon High-Flow Intake System for F-chassis BMW M135i, M235i, M2, M3, and M4 replaces the factory air path with an enclosed, larger-capacity carbon induction box and a high-flow BMC filter to feed cooler, denser air for sharper throttle response and a richer induction note; its carbon construction is finished flawlessly inside and out for OEM-level fit and durability.

Larger Capacity

• This system’s induction box and intake piping offer greater capacity than the factory BMW intake — an increase of 30% in volume — to promote smooth, stable airflow to the engine. Repeated evaluation on street, circuit, and chassis dyno allowed 3DDesign to validate real-world response and confirm seamless compatibility with the 3DDesign ECU tune, intercooler, and exhaust. Used together, these components let enthusiasts treat the powertrain as an integrated system and elevate overall performance.

BMC Filter

• Because filter performance is critical to any intake, 3DDesign equips its systems with BMC air filters for optimal flow and straightforward service. Backed by extensive motorsport experience and global availability, BMC filters make ongoing maintenance simple through virtually any performance parts distributor.

Enclosed Intake Box

• Extensive testing led 3DDesign to adopt an air-box style architecture. The fully enclosed air filter helps ensure the coolest possible charge air, while careful duct routing to the vehicle’s front creates a ram-air effect.

Flawless Surface, Inside and Out

• Conventional carbon manufacturing yields a smooth exterior and a rough interior surface; 3DDesign’s process achieves a smooth finish inside and out. The refined internal surface promotes laminar flow throughout the intake tract, supplying the engine with the cleanest, most efficient airflow.
