aFe MagnumFORCE Stage-2 P5R Cold Air Intake for BMW 128i E82 E88 — Overview

This is aFe's Stage-2 MagnumFORCE intake for the N52-powered 128i, covering E82 coupe and E88 convertible chassis from 2008 to 2013. The P5R filter media is aFe's progressive five-layer oiled cotton design, which flows more than a dry filter while still catching fine particles - a reasonable middle ground if you're not racing in dusty conditions every weekend. It replaces the factory airbox with a larger diameter tube and repositions the filter into cooler ambient air rather than the hot underhood pocket the stock setup pulls from.
