It is recommended to remove intake manifold swirl flaps from your M57 engine and replace them with aluminum plugs if this hasn’t been done yet.
For M57 engines, BMW used two different swirl flap diameters – 22mm or 33mm. For some BMW models, the diameter may vary based on emission standard (Euro 3/4), so please carefully review the fitment information below before placing your order.
