Description

BMW E46 M3 S54 (01-06) Mishimoto silicone intake boot

This Mishimoto intake boot E46 M3 replaces the original rubber intake boot of the BMW E46 M3 with S54 engine from 2001 to 2006. Heat and age make rubber hard and cracked, causing vacuum leaks. On a high-revving engine like the S54 you want to avoid that.

The boot is made of high-grade silicone with embedded heat-resistant fibres. It withstands up to 166 °C, tolerates more pressure than rubber and keeps the exact original fitment. You choose between blue and black.

Why choose this intake boot E46 M3?

A cracked intake boot on the M3 causes vacuum leaks, a rough idle and fault codes. This silicone boot solves that for good, fits precisely and lasts much longer than rubber. With blue or black you also choose the look, and Mishimoto backs it with a lifetime warranty.
