Presenting the perfect addition to our X5M, XM intake system to optimise the flow path all the way to the turbos. Our carbon inlets have a larger volume than the stock inlets by maintaining a larger diameter all the way to the turbos. The stock inlets narrow down immediately after the connection to the intake which creates a restriction especially at higher boost levels. We have alleviated this restriction and also designed the curvature to be as smooth as possible allowing the turbos to function with reduced resistance. Made from prepreg carbon fiber with CNC machined flanges, the inlets also provide an aesthetic improvement to the engine bay.
Benefits of the inlets are apparent with tuned vehicles where the boost pressure is higher and therefore the flow demand form the turbos is greater. This is where the larger inlet volume of the inlets help provide that extra flow.
LCI AND PRE-LCI INLETS
There are different inlets for the LCI and the Pre-LCI vehicles. We have made 2 specific sets which have different curvatures and an additional sensor boss on the LCI Version.
