Product Overview
BMW E36 Cold Air Intake Filter Heat Shield
Upgrade your BMW E36 with a High Flow Intake Filter Heat Shield engineered for maximum airflow and superior filtration. This precision-designed shield protects your intake from engine heat while delivering cooler, denser air for better performance.
✅ Material & Durability
Crafted from high-quality ABS plastic with 7 perimeter walls (~3.2 mm thickness) and 100% infill for maximum rigidity and strength. This makes the shield nearly solid, ensuring it will not warp or deform under engine bay conditions.
Heat resistance: up to ~105–110°C (221–230°F) continuous
Short-term peaks: up to 120°C (248°F)
Weight: approx. 520–530 g → solid and durable, not flimsy or thin
✅ Real-World Engine Bay Temperatures
In the position where this shield installs (between the intake filter and strut tower), typical engine bay temperatures are:
50–80°C during normal driving
Short peaks up to 90–95°C in hot weather or after spirited driving
Thanks to its solid ABS construction, this heat shield is fully capable of withstanding these conditions without losing shape or performance.
