The MMX B48A20T1 Silicone Intake Hose is engineered for the highest-output version of BMW's B48 engine, as fitted to the BMW M135i and the MINI JCW GP3. It replaces the factory plastic bellows pipe between the airbox and intake backpipe with a reinforced silicone hose, smoothing the airflow into the turbocharger.


Why The Factory Bellows Costs Airflow

The standard pipe is a concertina-shaped plastic bellows, a shape chosen for packaging and cost rather than flow. Every fold is a small disruption to the air travelling to the turbocharger, and collectively they add measurable turbulence at exactly the point where smooth, undisturbed flow matters most. A smooth-bore silicone hose removes those steps entirely.


Sound And Finish

Two secondary benefits come with it. The induction note becomes noticeably crisper under load, since the silicone transmits intake sound differently to the flexible plastic original. And the engine bay looks considerably better for it: a moulded silicone hose is one of the tidier visual upgrades available on a B48 car.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it fit other B48 engines?
It is engineered for the B48A20T1, the highest-output variant. Other B48 versions use different intake pipework and should be checked before ordering.

Is a remap required?
No. The hose is a direct replacement and works on a standard car, though it suits a tuned engine well.


Why Choose The MMX Silicone Hose?

Removing the factory bellows is one of the simplest airflow improvements available on a B48A20T1, and silicone is the right material for the job. R44 Performance supplies the MMX silicone hose range with UK stock and worldwide shipping.
