BMW B57 Turbo Inlet from Model Year 2020 – Bionically Optimized High-Flow Inlet

Maximum Flow Efficiency for Latest Generation BMW B57 Engines

Our High-Flow Turbo Inlet for revised generation BMW B57 diesel engines from model year 2020 was developed to specifically optimize airflow between the intake system and the turbocharger. By using modern CFD flow simulations and a bionically optimized internal geometry, flow-related losses could be reduced and the compressor's inflow improved.

Compared to the standard intake component, the turbo inlet offers more efficient airflow with reduced pressure loss and an enlarged usable flow cross-section. This allows the air mass to be guided to the turbocharger more evenly and with fewer losses, which offers advantages especially in performance-optimized vehicles and those with increased air demand.

The bionic geometry is based on natural flow principles and was specifically designed to minimize turbulence within the intake tract. This results in a more homogeneous inflow to the compressor and an overall more efficient air supply to the engine.

• More homogeneous inflow to the compressor
• Improved air supply for increased air demand
• More direct throttle response
• Faster turbocharger reaction
• Plug-&-Play installation
• High-quality manufacturing from PA12
• High temperature resistance
• Oil, fuel, and chemical resistance
• Suitable for series vehicles and performance-optimized applications

Bionic Flow Optimization

Development is based on extensive CFD simulations and flow analyses. The goal was to guide the air to the turbocharger with as little loss and as much control as possible.

The bionically inspired geometry reduces turbulence within the intake tract and ensures a more even distribution of the air mass. This supports more efficient compressor operation and improves flow quality compared to the series solution.

Optimized Turbocharger Air Supply

A stable and even air supply forms the basis for efficient charging. Thanks to the revised geometry, the air mass can be guided to the compressor with fewer losses.

Especially in vehicles with software optimization or increased air demand, the advantage of flow-optimized intake is particularly evident. The turbocharger is supplied more evenly and can operate more efficiently.

Low-pressure EGR Connection

This turbo inlet has a connection for the low-pressure EGR system. 

High-Quality Manufacturing from PA12

The turbo inlet is manufactured using high-resolution industrial 3D printing from high-quality PA12.

This material is characterized by high dimensional stability, excellent temperature resistance, and high resistance to oil, fuel, and the thermal stresses of modern diesel engines.

Plug-&-Play Installation

All connection and mounting points correspond to OEM specifications. The turbo inlet can be replaced with the original component without any modifications.

Installation is Plug & Play using the standard connection points.

Important Note

For BMW B57 engines from model year 2020, different turbo inlet versions were installed depending on the model, emission standard, and low-pressure EGR.

Before ordering, please check whether your original turbo inlet has one or an additional connection for the low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). There are versions where the connection is indicated but closed. Most versions have an additional outlet for the EGR. 

Since this is not always clearly identifiable in vehicle images and parts drawings, we recommend sending the VIN or a photo of the original part for reliable identification if in doubt.

When installing, it is advisable to work with a lift, as in some models the retaining clip of the turbo inlet must be loosened from below.
