S85 Sealed Carbon Air Intakes
by InfinityDesign
Build journal: special series
V10 breathwork.

The S85 V10 is notoriously sensitive : it loves cold air. They will easily suffer from heat soak with exposed filter designs.

The OEM sealed configuration is critical to these engines performance, yet it left a lot on the table.

In this Special Series, I document BMW M's sealed intake history, take a dive into the technical features of this unique aftermarket design, share my installation notes, talk tuning and record some clips with Luigi.

Enjoy,
- Matt / @m3_epoustouflant

Read the special series

It's thinner, it's louder.

The thinner pre-preg carbon constructions allows for more induction noises to come through.

Sealed to OEM standards.

The lower housing is designed to be plug and play with the OEM air ducts at the front bumper, and into the chassis.

The cone filter at its core.

The sandwich'ed, oiled filter configuration allows the upper inlet tube to determine the air flow.

A seamless integration of MAF.

The MAF housing is designed into the carbon inlet tube.

The aesthetics are alien.

The matte or gloss finish is achieved using a 2 component automotive clear coat.
Stage 1 mapping
Power where it counts.

14whp up top without a tune? Not bad - but I dislike dynos.

They're not the truth. 

I believe power needs to be felt and measured on the tarmac. Most precisely, the 100-200 kph test.

This pairing is the most cost efficient performance enhancing modification on the V10 M5 and M6 when all is considered.
