Upgrade the intake system of your BMW 318i F30/F31 LCI 1.5L Turbo with the GruppeM Ram Air System FRI-0332, developed to improve fresh-air delivery, manage intake temperatures and enhance the overall engine response.
The system features a specially developed carbon-fiber air duct designed to block hot air from the engine bay while directing fresh ambient air toward the intake. This helps create a more controlled intake environment and supports stable intake temperatures during acceleration and sustained engine load.
GruppeM states that its dedicated carbon duct design is intended to improve airflow efficiency while supporting increased torque and power throughout the rev range. The system also produces a more pronounced and sporty Induction Sound, giving the turbocharged engine a stronger acoustic character under acceleration.
The FRI-0332 is officially listed for the BMW 3 Series F30/F31 LCI 318i Turbo 1.5L, covering model years 2016–2019 with vehicle type 8E15 and engine code B38B15A.
The carbon-fiber construction adds a premium motorsport-inspired appearance to the engine bay while the vehicle-specific design keeps the intake system integrated with the BMW's original layout.
Installation is designed as bolt-on using a dedicated fitting adapter, and the specified replacement filter for this application is GMR-3301.
The GruppeM FRI-0332 Ram Air System is an ideal upgrade for BMW 318i owners looking to enhance Intake Airflow, Intake Temperature Management, Induction Sound and Throttle Response with a dedicated carbon intake system.
