🚗 BMW M235i N55 Charge Pipe Upgrade 🚗
This BMW 235i came into F2KPD after suffering a very common N55 issue — failure of the original plastic charge pipe where it joins the throttle body.
The factory plastic pipework is a known weak point, especially as these cars get older or start running more boost. Once it cracks or fails, you can be left with boost leaks, poor performance, warning lights and a car that simply isn’t driving as it should.
With the original component failed, now was the perfect time to upgrade rather than replace like-for-like.
We fitted an MTC Motorsport upgraded charge pipe kit,
featuring:
✅ Lightweight alloy pipework
✅ Stronger upgrade over the factory plastic pipe
✅ Beaded ends with upgraded clamps to help prevent hoses blowing off
✅ Direct-fit design
✅ Finished in black for durability and a clean OEM+ look
✅ A much-needed upgrade for N55-powered BMWs
Whether your N55 is standard, tuned or just starting to show signs of age, this is one of those upgrades that makes sense before failure leaves you stuck.
Another BMW sorted and back on the road properly 💪
