Help keep your BMW's intake tuning working as designed with the Standard Ignition Engine Intake Manifold Actuator IMA100. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1997-2000 BMW Z3 2.5L / 2.8L, 2000 BMW 323Ci 2.5L and 1999-2000 BMW 323i 2.5L. This actuator operates the variable intake manifold mechanism, moving the runner control to adjust the intake air path for the engine's operating range. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed L6-2.5L and L6-2.8L applications when the original unit has failed.
Signs this part may need replacing: if a faulty intake manifold actuator is the cause, you may notice a stored fault code for the intake runner control, or the actuator failing to move as commanded. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of fitting vehicles.
