aFe 54-12868-B is a black vacuum-formed ABS cover for the matching installed aFe intake housing. The current manufacturer identifies 51-12862, 54-12862, 52-10011D and 52-10011R as compatible intake systems. This accessory includes one cover and two each of the clip nuts, screws and flat washers used to fasten it. Verify the installed housing and engine configuration before choosing from the conditional vehicle listings below.
The current exact product page names 2015-2019 MINI Cooper S F55/F56 with B46/B48 engines; the complete twelve-page cover manual has an earlier 2015-2017 heading. Current compatibility also explicitly names the four installed intake systems above. Existing BMW X1/X2 and MINI Cooper, Clubman and Countryman rows have exact selected-cover retailer support and remain conditional on the matching installed housing, engine and mounting points. Original fifteen groups, year bounds, gaps and named trims are preserved. A vehicle or trim listing alone does not establish fit with a factory airbox. Broader or later parent-intake vehicle lists are not transferred into new cover mappings, and no hybrid, diesel or different-engine application is inferred.

This is the black cover and its six mounting pieces, not a complete intake. The carbon-look C3 cover in the shared manual is an alternative, not a second supplied cover. No filter, coupling, tube, replacement housing, sensor or wiring is itemized. Related complete intake systems and filters pictured later in the manual are separate products. Generic Filter Included and Coupler Included page flags conflict with this exact bill.
aFe Power develops application-specific intake, filtration, exhaust, cooling, tuning, suspension, drivetrain, and truck-performance components supported by product testing and documented installation requirements.
One black ABS cover, two M6 clip nuts, two M6 hex screws and two M6 flat washers. The complete intake, filter and coupling are separate.
Which installed intake systems are named?The current exact manufacturer page lists 51-12862, 54-12862, 52-10011D and 52-10011R. Verify the actual housing and mounting points.
Can vehicle selection establish fit with the factory airbox?The application requires the matching aftermarket intake housing. Existing broader BMW/MINI retailer rows remain conditional on that installed system and engine configuration.
Does the trim seal stay under the cover?No. The first illustrated step removes the housing trim seal before the clip nuts and cover are fitted.
How does the cover attach?Install the two supplied clip nuts on the existing housing, position the cover and secure it with the two washers and screws. Follow the illustrations rather than treating the page's snap-on wording as hardware-free installation.
Which tool and screw dimensions are specified?A 10 mm wrench and M6 hex screws are specified. The exact manual gives no screw length, numeric torque, cutting or drilling instruction.
Does this cover certify the complete intake for California use?No parent-system certification follows from the current accessory page's no-EO-required statement. Older manual competition boilerplate conflicts and remains qualified.
Are a battery step, recheck interval or measured performance gain supplied?The exact cover procedure specifies no battery disconnection, numeric torque or mileage recheck. No quantified sound, airflow or dyno comparison is supplied.
Verify aFe 54-12868-B. Read the complete twelve-page manual and verify the actual installed aFe housing. Remove the trim seal from the top of the housing as Figure A shows. Install the two supplied M6 clip nuts onto that housing as Figure B shows. Position the cover as illustrated, then secure it with the two M6 flat washers and two M6 hex screws using a 10 mm wrench. Confirm proper seating. The current page describes a snap-on fit, but the exact illustrated procedure uses the supplied fasteners; do not omit them. No battery-disconnection step, screw length, numeric torque, mileage-based recheck, cutting or drilling is specified.
The current exact cover page and all twelve pages of its linked manual were read. All three contact sheets, the full bill, removal, clip-nut and installed-cover illustrations, related-parts, warranty and contact pages were inspected. Current manufacturer calls this Rapid Induction; legacy retailer Momentum naming does not make it a complete intake. The current accessory page says no CARB EO is required, whereas the older manual contains competition-only boilerplate. This conflict does not establish emissions approval for any complete intake. Manufacturer noise-reduction and no-power-loss descriptions lack a linked quantitative test. Original protected tags and native memberships are preserved; broader selected-cover retailer coverage is qualified by the actual installed housing. Later parent-kit applications are not automatically added. Turn14 exact-product information remains unavailable without authenticated access. Commercial data and price are unchanged.
