Original BMW Intake Manifold with Flap Control for BMW X5 xDrive35d (2014–2018)

The Original BMW intake manifold with flap control guides the incoming air charge to each cylinder of the N57N diesel engine in the F15 BMW X5 xDrive35d (2014–2018). BMW supplies it new and unused as a single piece, made in Germany and weighing 3 kg (6.6 lb). Its full BMW name calls out the flap control, and that complete description is the one to match when you compare a replacement against the part on your engine. An intake manifold has to hold a sealed path from the intake tract to the cylinder head, so a crack, a vacuum leak, or physical damage anywhere on it calls for a new manifold.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

BMW draws this manifold as item 1 on its intake manifold diagram for the X5, and one part number covers the xDrive35d across all of the 2014–2018 model years. Production of this number began in December 2013, and BMW's parts data shows no end date, so it remains the current part for these vehicles. It is sold by the piece, one manifold per unit ordered.

Common Questions

What symptoms point to a failing intake manifold on the X5 xDrive35d?
Misfires or a rough idle from uneven air delivery between cylinders are common. Coolant or vacuum leaks from cracks or failed gaskets, and a check engine light set by intake air imbalance, leaks, or a sensor fault, are other signs.

Is this the same manifold a BMW dealer supplies?
Yes. It is an Original BMW part, the same manifold a BMW dealer parts department supplies, built to BMW's own standards.
