This product is an aftermarket charge pipe assembly designed for BMW G-Series vehicles equipped with the B58 engine, specifically applicable to the M340i model. Its primary function is to replace the original equipment charge pipe.

Factory charge pipes in turbocharged engines, such as the BMW B58, are commonly manufactured from plastic. Over time, these plastic components are subjected to repeated thermal cycles and pressure fluctuations inherent in forced induction systems. This environmental exposure can lead to material degradation, resulting in brittleness, cracking, or catastrophic failure under sustained boost pressure. A compromised charge pipe leads to a loss of boost, which can manifest as reduced engine power, an engine malfunction indicator light illumination, or the engine entering a protective limp mode.

The MAD BMW G Series B58 Charge Pipe provides a robust alternative to the factory plastic component. It is constructed from materials designed to withstand the operational stresses of a turbocharged engine, including elevated temperatures and sustained boost pressures. By replacing the potentially fragile OEM part, this charge pipe aims to maintain the integrity of the boost pathway, ensuring consistent and reliable delivery of pressurized air to the engine's intake manifold.

Key features:

*   Direct replacement for the OEM charge pipe.

*   Utilizes enhanced material construction compared to factory plastic components.

*   Designed for BMW G-Series vehicles equipped with the B58 engine, including the M340i.

*   Engineered to resist cracking and bursting under typical operating boost pressures and temperatures.

Installation notes:

Installation involves removing the existing factory charge pipe and fitting the MAD unit in its place. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct fitment, proper sealing, and adherence to manufacturer torque specifications for all connections and clamps.
