Overview

Dinan's D760-0321B brings its classic E36 cold air intake back in carbon fiber. The kit replaces the factory air box with a large cylindrical performance filter and a carbon fiber intake tube. The filter moves into its own compartment behind the front bumper and below the headlight, away from engine heat and out where it can draw cooler outside air. The tube from filter to airflow meter is shaped to reduce turbulence, so the M52 and S52 six-cylinders breathe more freely and respond more quickly to the throttle.

Paired with Dinan engine software, the intake is rated at plus 12 horsepower and plus 11 lb-ft of torque at 6000 rpm. Dinan recommends its Stage 2 software for the best performance and drivability. This latest version returns to a carbon fiber tube with an embossed Dinan logo. That replaces the inset Mylar decal on the original E36 intake, which tended to mar after years under the hood.

The kit includes the carbon tube, the high-flow filter with a protective sock, a filter heat shield and bracket, and the clamps and hardware needed to mount it. Dinan quotes 1.5 hours of installation labor. Replacement filters are available separately (Dinan D403-0350 filter and D401-0111 sock). Dinan installation instructions (PDF).

The intake carries CARB Executive Order D-176-14, so it is legal for sale and use in all 50 states when installed per Dinan's application guide (emission code 1). Dinan lists it for 1996-1999 BMW 3-Series. The table shows each U.S. E36 body and engine for those years; the E36 328i sedan and M3 sedan ended after 1998. Four-cylinder 318 models, the 1995 S50 M3, and E46 cars are not covered. It earns 3 Dinan points and ships at 24 x 12 x 8 inches and 6.3 pounds. A former DNN-prefixed listing now redirects here.
