OEM+ design
This carbon plenum was developed using the lower housing of the OEM plastic plenum.
The top lip is fully replaced & sealed with an enlarged, thinner carbon lid to augment induction noises.
The Specs
The Export version was developed in early 2021 from US member feedbacks. It has a thinner, pre-preg, carbon fiber lid for improved induction noise.
The plenum is available in gloss and matte 2 component hardened clear coat. The Gloss finish option is polished and wet sanded for a mirror like finish.
OEM M3 V8 badges, M Power sticker under the clear coat, or naked. You choose.
The lid design was simplified and the 2x functionless OE bolts were removed for sleek aesthetics.
Pricing includes a Genuine BMW core. You get to keep your OEM plenum.
Installation Notes
This is a simple DIY. Plan for 60 to 120 minutes. Quick tip: grease the rubber couplers before fitting it, and make sure you seal is tight.
Short answer: yes. Long answer: read the entry :)
I take you into the backstory to this Connex, my unboxing and first drive impressions of the OEM+ S65 carbon plenum by CarboProject.
