Wanted: E90 bmw performance intake

BMWE90fan · 11-11-2019, 08:02 PM

Looking for the euro version bmw performance intake. I live in the USA but have the euro air box currently. The US version does me no good and I think it is now discontinued so I am looking for a used one at this point. Thanks

If you've already got the Euro intake, why do you want the Performance one? They are almost identical save for an addional port to give some more inlet noise. Check RealOEM...

Doesn’t the US performance intake require the US style air box and the Euro performance version require the euro air box? Can you elaborate on “an additional port?” I don’t quite follow what you are referring too. Thanks for the reply; greatly appreciated

Here are the two airboxes from RealOEM. You can see the differences in the Performance filter are small.

Thanks, makes me wonder why they call it a performance intake over stock if this was offered as performance over stock for those in the European market.
