N52 3.0L Intake Manifold

The BMW Intake Manifold (part number 11617559523) is a genuine OEM component specifically engineered for BMW vehicles equipped with the N52 3.0L engine. This critical engine part serves as a direct replacement for damaged or worn intake manifolds, addressing issues caused by heat damage or physical impact. Replacing a faulty intake manifold is essential for several reasons. Primarily, it helps to eliminate damaging intake leaks, which can lead to poor engine performance, rough idling, and decreased fuel efficiency. By restoring the integrity of the intake system, this manifold ensures that the engine receives the correct air-fuel mixture, thereby restoring optimal performance and smooth operation. It is a direct fit for various BMW models, including the 530i, 530xi, X3, X5 xDrive30i, 330i, 330xi, and Z4 models with the N52 3.0L engine, and replaces original part number 11617522927. Some sources also suggest it can be a bolt-on upgrade for other N52 engines to potentially increase power.
