51642990178 Duct | E84 X1 Radiator Air Deflector Assembly

51642990178 Duct

Engineered for 2008-2011 BMW E84 X1 models, the 51642990178 Duct optimizes airflow management between kidney grilles and radiator systems while maintaining precise OEM fitment characteristics.

Product Description

The 51642990178 Duct serves as the critical airflow management component between the kidney grilles and radiator assembly on 2008-2011 BMW E84 X1 models. Manufactured from flexible rubberized compounds that withstand extreme temperature fluctuations from -40°F to 250°F, this precisely contoured duct maintains consistent airflow channeling under all driving conditions. Its ribbed internal structure reduces air turbulence while increasing velocity toward the radiator core, enhancing cooling efficiency. The integrated mounting flange system aligns with factory attachment points around the radiator support panel, requiring no modifications for proper installation. Weather-resistant materials prevent premature hardening or cracking, maintaining seal integrity against road debris and moisture intrusion. Precisely positioned sealing surfaces create an airtight junction with surrounding components, eliminating parasitic air leaks that compromise thermal management. The compound formulation includes UV inhibitors that prevent degradation from solar exposure, preserving material flexibility throughout the component lifespan. Reinforced edges at connection points prevent deformation under vacuum pressure while accommodating normal engine movement. The complete assembly arrives with pre-installed mounting hardware that matches original specifications for hassle-free installation.
