The Pipercross PK455 Intake Kit is a high-performance induction upgrade designed to replace the restrictive factory airboxes and intake piping on the BMW F87 M2 Competition, F80 M3, and F82/F83 M4. Crafted using advanced 3D scanning and CAD technology, this system offers impressive performance gains, a deeper induction sound, and race-inspired aesthetics, all while maintaining full compatibility with OEM ducting and sensors.

Key Features

• Power Gains: +21 HP & +15.81 lb-ft Torque
  Verified performance increase through flow bench testing and real-world driving.

  Stainless steel hardware and thick-wall, step-matched silicone couplers ensure long-term durability and leak-free operation.

Why Upgrade from the OEM Intake?

While the stock S55 intake is effective for factory-tuned engines, it quickly becomes a bottleneck under higher boost or performance tuning. The Pipercross PK455 addresses these limitations by increasing airflow capacity, enhancing thermal efficiency, and improving throttle response — ideal for both daily-driven and track-prepped F8X models.
