Karbonius E9X M3 (S65) Carbon Inlet Plenum and Intake System - Roundel Style
Couldn't load pickup availability
Description
The Karbonius E9X M3 (S65) Carbon Inlet Plenum and Intake System — Roundel Style is the most complete carbon intake solution available for BMW's naturally aspirated V8, now featuring a BMW Roundel badge in place of the ///M V8 plaque. Where BMW never developed a carbon plenum for the S65 as they did for the S54 CSL, Karbonius engineered a full carbon fiber intake system — plenum, elbow, airbox cover, and air filter — to improve engine efficiency, unlock a dramatic induction sound, and transform the engine bay aesthetic.
Designed by Karbonius' in-house engineering team using modern 2D and 3D flow analysis, every component has been redesigned to optimize airflow into the engine while minimizing turbulence inside the airbox — delivering measurable power gains alongside the visual and auditory upgrades. The Roundel Style version is performance-identical to the ///M V8 version; the distinction is purely aesthetic — a BMW Roundel badge in place of the ///M V8 plaque.
Each piece is manufactured from 100% prepreg carbon fiber and autoclave-cured in Spain under ISO 9001 quality standards, combining motorsport-grade construction with authenticity and long-term durability.
