Take your BMW S55 to the next level with the aFe POWER Black Series Carbon Fibre Cold Air Intake System. Combining lightweight 100% twill weave carbon fibre construction, dyno-tested performance, and premium craftsmanship, the Black Series is a flagship intake system engineered for enthusiasts who demand both performance and engine bay aesthetics.
Featuring beautifully crafted carbon fibre intake tubes and sealed airboxes, this intake significantly improves airflow while reducing heat soak, resulting in sharper throttle response, enhanced induction sound, and proven horsepower gains. Each intake is finished with a serialized Black Series authenticity plaque, ensuring you receive a genuine premium aFe POWER product.
