That's great mate thank you. Anyone got one for the right side too?

Thanks again

Hi everyone,

anyone has the Scoop for left side / N55 Engine?

Unfortunately i've printed the wrong side

[Bachu1]

Hi i love this,, is there a chance i could get the file sent to me as well please? i have a 330d but i don't know which side i would require the item to be printed as.

Thank you very much

Does the 3330df have this scoop on the drivers or passengers side.

I totally understand the desire to want to provide more air to the engine with grill air scoops and larger air intakes. It’s important for anyone with an N55 to know that at the other end of that airflow is a stock Turbo Inlet Pipe with a restriction and an actual opening into the turbo housing that is less than 2” in diameter.

So front airscoops and big ass intakes don’t have much effect at all unless the Turbo Inlet Pipe is also upgraded. For example, on the F30 N55 the MST Turbo Inlet Pipe V2 eliminates the stock pipe restriction and smooths out the airflow to an end fitting with about 40% more potential airflow into the stock turbo housing. See photos.

MST Turbo Inlet Pipe for F-Series N55
(Make sure to select the higher flow V2 which is labeled “for aftermarket turbos”. That doesn’t matter because turbo housing is the same.)

I can't upload the file here. Here a link to the file. Again if for the left side (When looking at the car from the front.

Thanks for this. Took about 3 hours to print and fits almost perfectly onto my wagon. The only difference is I have a larger front radiator so the scoop is pushing hard into that.

I don't suppose you've got a mirror image one just so I can put them on for symmetry?

You can just flip the image in cura.

Hi,

Could someone please advise me on the correct scale to print this scoop? I attempted to print it from the original file, "Modified-scoopF30," and it turned out to be much too large for my F31.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
Damir S.

Here's a theoretical point to consider with these; is it going to increase risk water ingress to the intake? On my Impreza which has a forward facing inlet like this 3d bit, there's a long snorkus that goes into the wing, has a resonator/collector 18" below the inlet, and then a 18" rise back to the airbox. That means any collected water ends up at the bottom of the collector and can drain out the small hole in it. The BMW inlet design to me looks pretty flat which might be why I've seen so many sat at the side of the road absolutely buggered when there's deep water around (or maybe it's down to the drivers!). The intention of this design is obviously to force more air in from directly in front of the car, rather than sucking from the side of the grille. In theory this would seem to make it more susceptible to pulling water in...

I'm more than happy to share the file. It's roughly a 16 hour print once you've set the right parameters.

Hi Iyrix! I know this was a while ago but is there any way you could share the File with me? I would really appreciate it!

Cheers

Does anyone still have the STL file for this? looking for a F22 M240i ( Right Hand drive ), also just for curiosity, ?

Check the post above your own!

Thank you so much for sharing this, I am printing it now using tree supports. Although 3D printing technology has really changed in the last few years, 100g of filament, PLA, 3hour 45 print time with a 0.4mm nozzle

Will post back when done

[Tobz_au]

Printed perfect. Ended up printed in PETG

Thaks heaps

[Rich76]

I have a similar item fitted on my 440i mppsk and will be looking at the other side of the vent soon, the actual snorkel on the stock intake is not flush to the scoop mount .

I’ve got some Thin plastic sheet that over Christmas I’ll me filling the void with to ensure that the air is forced in to the filter housing

[Solenoidal]

Has anyone printed this and installed for a 440i B58?

Mine is right hand drive so I am guessing it will just need flipping before printing?
