Charge pipe

gsm2x3 · 01-24-2024, 05:19 PM

Does anyone know if the stock charge pipe off an N55 M2 would fit the x3 35i’s n55?

I replaced my M2’s with about 2k miles on it with aluminum. Just curious since my x3 is up there in miles and figured it’d be cheap peace of mind until replacing that one with aluminum.

Your charge pipe will just blow on the X3 too, just buy a VRSF one and throw it on. Cheap and easy peace of mind.

Do the the aluminum charge pipes offer any performance increase?

Figured the plastic could maybe be worth it since the OG one has surpassed 117k no issues. Ended up just going with the aluminum 🤷&zwj;♂️

Not to my knowledge/in my experience.

That's wild, mine blew up at 42k on the second day of ownership.
