Watch This Before Installing The 3-Stage Intake Manifold (Without Tune) | BMW E90 E92 328i N52

In today's video, I show you exactly what to expect after installing the infamous 3-stage intake manifold on your BMW 328i (E9X), without a tune. The 3-stage intake manifold is a direct plug-and-play upgrade any N52 BMW owner can do to gain 30-40 horsepower to the crank (with tuning).

Ok im gonna be so real about this mod, it is absolutely freaking amazing. However, DO NOT BUY THIS MANIFOLD ANYWHERE BUT THE JUNK YARD. IT IS NOT WORTH THE PRICING THAT THESE INTAKES GO FOR ONLINE. If you're not confident enough to go get the part off of a junk car yourself, the cold hard truth is you probably should not be a BMW owner. If you have a 328i with the factory plastic valve cover, look for a yard with an X3 30i (model year 07-10)of any trim level. This car had the 3 stage intake with the same ccv hose bungs as the intake that comes stock on the cars with the plastic vc. This will save you so many headaches. Good luck out there!

i bought a used one off ebay 150 bucks with disas and all installed it and tuned it for free great bang for the buck

if you have an N51 (emissions model N52, sold in various states but i know off the top California and Washington, can also check on your hood for emissions stickers) it already has the stage 3 manifold! just grab a 330i tune and you should get the extra power from that

I did it and during the tune it fried my tcm and made my car stuck in park for a while had to replace the very expensive unit

better off doing the tune without the manfold, you get 1/2 the power adder with zero of the extra maintenance. 3 stage manifold without the tune is worthless, but the tune you can really feel even without the extra 10hp.

Can anybody tell me, can I can just put just the disa valves itself on a 328, what do I need the actual manifold itself that comes with 330 ?

I did this with the tune and my car now just cranks and wont start

Additionally, hit up my boy John at Bimmworks for your tune when you get it installed!
