Description: The Dinan carbon fiber intake for the MINI B46/B48 engines (as well as the BMW F48 X1 and F39 X2) is tantamount to an exercise in efficiency. Given a confined space with limited options and an even smaller budget-- create an intake that provides power, sound, and throttle response in an aesthetically pleasing package. While not the easiest of things to accomplish, we embarked upon the task with our team of engineers determined to provide a solution.

Through a bevy of flow bench testing it was quickly determined that the biggest hindrance to improved flow on the stock intake was the factory snorkel. Unfortunately, the snorkel also was the piece that would cause the largest increase in cost to a potential kit. As a result it was quickly abandoned as a potential area of improvement. Instead, attention was turned to finding a way to introduce a secondary inlet for additional air flow. With limited room to work with, traditional secondary ducting was not possible. This in turn led to multiple experiments being conducted on the effectiveness of a possible open air inlet on the upper lid. With different shapes, locations, and sizes of openings being tested, the goal was to ensure that the added secondary inlet did not cause any unwarranted side effects such as an increase in air temps in the system. This is commonplace with open air intake systems where lots of overheated engine bay air is utilized in the intake tract. The results of these tests showed that a 12 sq./in. opening for additional air on the opposite side of the upper lid from the engine provided a perfect balance of additional volume to assist the factory snorkel all the while not causing an increase in turbo inlet temperatures. This was the case regardless of testing conditions (single/multiple gear pulls, constant speed, 0-100mph runs, etc.).

With more air being pulled into the system, throttle response is improved and additional power is realized in the form of max gains of +5 HP / +5 ft-lbs of torque. The secondary air inlet also allows the intake system to be more audible so the turbo spool and BOV can be appreciated. A stark difference from Dinan's traditional fully sealed systems where induction noise is not nearly as recognizable. Not to be outdone by the increased power and sound, the system is made of immaculate carbon fiber so it looks the role as well. The end result of an optimized lid, an improved filter and thorough testing, yields an incredibly efficient and cost effective solution that you will be hard pressed to beat.

Features/Benefits:

• Maximum gain of +5 HP and +5 lb-ft of torque @ 5000 RPM
• Enjoyably louder, sportier sound
• Improved throttle response
• Large carbon fiber air box lid allows increased volume of air to be utilized taking advantage of the free flowing filter
• Bell-mouthed side inlet creates a secondary air intake source with optimal flow characteristics and no increase in intake air temperature
• Free flowing injection molded Air Mass Meter housing
• Quick and easy installation

Any chance of getting one for m35i

Yes, X2 M35i please!

While from pictures the intakes look very similar between the 28i and M35i the ETK shows 2 distinctly different part numbers so there is something different. We wouldn't know exactly what until we get an X2 M35i in the shop to look at though.

[billnchristy]

It’s the maf connection, m35i is rectangular , not oval. The good news is your part looks easily interchangeable once you get the dimensions. I know there’s a guy local to you who has one, hopefully y’all can hook up soon. If not I can stop by next time I head to Florida.

Ahhh, that makes sense. Would also mean a new injection molding and thus a relatively expensive tooling charge. I wonder what other cars that rectangular MAF if being used on? Always helps to justify expenses if there are other potential applications down the road.

How does this affect the factory vehicle warranty?

In theory, it doesn't. Always check with your local dealer though on how they treat aftermarket parts as each dealership does things drastically different.

Just about everything in Europe it looks like

Good news:
G20 3 series 330
G05 x5 40i
G07 x7 40i use same maf in USA

Our lead hardware engineer noted that it looked likes the same MAF as the F30 340i intake. However he also noted...

"The bigger issue really, is that the M35i likely has a much larger MAF size (big like the 340i). It might need to be so big, that it wouldn’t fit on the mounting surface of our current carbon Mini lid. I did an implosion on the X2 M35i stock air filter, and it only fits the X2 M35i. So a kit for the M35i would likely be brand new everything."

So yeah... until we physically see one its still a bunch of speculation and notebook engineering.

[billnchristy]

I hear ya. At least this engine will be here with the 4 door 2 series and jcw minis soon so hopefully it will be worth it

I can't measure it carefully but it almost looks like an adapter of some sort could be inserted into the oval hole, which would then accept the rectangular M35i MAF. Needs to get it in the right spot in the airflow of course.

[rice_rocket88]

The holes don't quite line up actually.. if you were to make an adapter plate it would probably have to be something like half a centimeter at least to accommodate screws. This would place that maf even further out of the air stream. I'm not sure how that would affect the readings. I did stick the MAF into the X1 oval opening to check how feasible it would be.

Can you guys work on some axles don't don't vibrate from a stop when you lower these things more than an inch?

That's a bit beyond our development scope at this juncture for the MINI platform. We are isolating the product line to tune, intake, exhaust and springs/bumpstops at present.
