2021 & 2022 Continued Product Development
It was René's goal to offer a complete carbon fiber intake kit for the S65 for 2022, as he builds off the success of the carbon fiber plenum introduced to export markets by EuroConnex in Summer 2020.

The S65 E9X M3 Intake Elbow:
OEM + Design
The mold was designed as flow optimized version of the OEM ABS plastic part with slightly thinner material thickness to enhance induction noise and reduce weight by 1 pound.
Compatible with OEM filters
René designed the elbow to be compatible with OEM dry filters or equivalent OE replacements.
This is an ideal design choice for those wishing to remain with the confines of OE replacement parts and use Replacement Warranties from the likes of FCP Euro.
The elbow made in Germany with 100% in prepreg carbon fiber in 2x2 carbon weave and is cured in autoclave. It remains sober in design to appear as an OEM+ component.
Customizable Aesthetics
The weave is designed to match the S65 Carbon Fiber Plenum and S65 Carbon Air Filter Lid as is shown on installed pictures - it it oriented at 3 o'clock, top right of an imaginary square for guys out there looking to match this with carbon components from other brands.
The product is clear coated in 2 component hardened clear coat for a durable finish and resistant to the high temperatures of the engine bay. It is available in Gloss or Matte finish.
