Upgrading Charge Pipe N55

F36 435i M · 06-20-2022, 12:34 PM

Hi guys

My N55 435i just hit 50k miles and I've wanted to upgrade the charge pipe for some time. Just before I purchase one, can anyone vouch for the ones sold on ebay, or are they all cheap and nasty?

I was going to get this one: https://www.mlperformance.co.uk/prod...58c067f1&_ss=r

This one on ebay doesn't appear to be from China and is half the price: https://bit.ly/3tNeFDv

Thanks in advance!

Agreed. I got the FTP Motorsports from Mike as well. Great Quality and no fitment issues

since you are in the UK, order from FTP Motorsport direct. make sure you order the correct version, with their o-ring for a few extra(if you desire). super fast shipping.

i've seen members in the UK satisfied with Masata. quality seems decent and budget friendly. Some US vendors have recently started to carry it. i'd prolly go with this if you can obtain quicker locally.

most of us in the USA have FTP, CTS, ER, BMS, ER, AA etc. personally i wouldn't pay for shipping from the US to UK.
