Description
Overview
The BMW (3.0) Engine Cold Air Intake from AWE Tuning is the S-FLO Edition intake engineered to match the G8X’s pedigree. Built from genuine 2×2 carbon fiber and paired with precision-machined aluminum components, this air intake delivers power, throttle response, and unmistakable sound—all with factory-like fitment and zero compromise. Assembled in the USA and backed by a Fit Guarantee, it’s a complete upgrade that installs the way only AWE can engineer it.
At its core is AWE’s oil-less, washable S-FLO Filter, finished in bold Neon Yellow and constructed from cotton for consistent, high-flow performance. The inverted cone design maximizes airflow while providing a 142% increase in filter surface area compared to stock. Two filters are included, so you’re ready to run and maintain the system right out of the box.
Key Benefits
A massive 4.5″ outlet ensures seamless breathing into the turbo, while machined aluminum adapters create a perfect seal from intake to compressor. The system integrates directly with the OEM inlet ducting and retains all stock mounting points for an OE-grade install. Louvers built into the airbox are angled to direct turbo spool toward the cabin—intoxicating under throttle, yet quiet when cruising.
Every S-FLO Carbon Intake is finished in UV-stabilized resin and clear coat to maintain its appearance over time. The result is a system that delivers gains of +14 hp and +9 lb-ft of torque with no tune required—true plug-and-play performance that fits like factory and looks the part under the hood.
