Keep your BMW's intake responsive with the Standard Ignition Engine Intake Manifold Actuator IMA100. This actuator moves a control component inside the intake manifold, adjusting it to manage the flow of metered intake air across the engine's operating range. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: 1997-2000 BMW 528I [L6-2.8L], 1997-2000 BMW Z3 [L6-2.8L], 1998-1999 BMW 323IS [L6-2.5L], 1998-2000 BMW 328I [L6-2.8L], 1999-2000 BMW 323I [L6-2.5L], 1999-2000 BMW Z3 [L6-2.5L], 2000 BMW 323CI [L6-2.5L], and 2000 BMW 328CI [L6-2.8L].
Signs the original actuator may need replacing include a stored intake-related trouble code and reduced throttle response. Because these symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the actuator before ordering; if a failed intake manifold actuator is the cause, this unit replaces it.
Manufacturer part number IMA100.
What does the IMA100 actuator do?
It moves a control component inside the intake manifold, adjusting it to manage the flow of metered intake air across the engine's operating range.
Which vehicles does it fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the listed 1997-2000 BMW 528I, Z3, 323I, 323IS, 328I, 323CI, and 328CI models with the L6-2.5L or L6-2.8L engine. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
How many do I need?
The listed applications use one actuator per engine, so one IMA100 covers the intake manifold on those vehicles.
What are signs this actuator may be failing?
Common signs include a stored intake-related trouble code and reduced throttle response. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose before replacing.
Will this fix a check engine light on its own?
Not necessarily. If a failed intake manifold actuator is the confirmed cause, replacing it with the IMA100 addresses that fault, but verify the diagnosis first since other components can trigger the same code.
