How much power does the AMS Performance BMW S58 intake add?

In dyno testing on a built M3 Competition, the AMS Performance BMW S58 intake produced a peak increase of +86whp at 5900rpm and a sustained average of +66whp above 5000rpm after recalibration, along with improved torque and sharper throttle response. Gains vary with tuning and supporting modifications.

What is the difference between the carbon lid and open-airbox AMS Performance BMW S58 intake?

This carbon lid version of the AMS Performance BMW S58 intake uses fully enclosed autoclave-cured carbon fiber lids with magnetic fasteners, prioritising thermal shielding, reduced heat soak, and a stealth look. The open-airbox version instead prioritises raw induction sound and open airflow. Both share the same core flow path and gains.

How much larger is the AMS Performance BMW S58 intake than stock?

The AMS Performance BMW S58 intake increases cross-sectional area by 128% over the stock intake pipes and uses cast aluminum turbo inlet elbows up to 128% larger than stock, reducing intake restriction by up to 48% for more efficient turbo breathing across the RPM range.

Does the AMS Performance BMW S58 intake fit the M2, M3, and M4?

Yes. The AMS Performance BMW S58 intake fits the G87 BMW M2 (2023-present), G80/G81 M3 (2021-present), and G82/G83 M4 (2021-present), all with the S58 3.0L inline-six twin-turbo engine.

Does the AMS Performance BMW S58 intake use an oiled filter?

No. The AMS Performance BMW S58 intake uses dry filter media with radiused entry edges for reliability, easy cleaning, and minimised intake losses. The carbon lids' magnetic fasteners make accessing and servicing the filters straightforward.

Description

AMS Performance Carbon Lid Intake Kit for G8x BMW M2 / M3 / M4

BMW S58 intake from AMS Performance is the Carbon Lid Intake Kit for the G8x BMW M2, M3, and M4, engineered to deliver exceptional power gains, faster throttle response, and a refined induction experience for the twin-turbocharged S58 engine. At the heart of this BMW S58 intake is a 3.5″ carbon fiber intake tube and smooth 4-ply silicone couplers channeling unrestricted airflow to the turbos, with oversized cast aluminum turbo inlet elbows up to 128% larger than stock for a direct, high-volume path to the compressor wheels. The defining feature is the bespoke, fully enclosed, autoclave-cured carbon fiber lids, which shield intake temperatures, reduce heat soak, and add a sharper, more resonant induction sound. Proven on the dyno to make up to +86whp peak and +66whp average above 5000rpm, this is the carbon lid configuration of the AMS intake, with an open-airbox version also available.

Why the AMS Performance BMW S58 Intake?

AMS developed the BMW S58 intake for the G8x M2 / M3 / M4 with an engineering-driven approach led by its in-house Snailworks Engineering Team, using computational fluid dynamics, flow-bench analysis, and dyno testing to dramatically lower pressure drop and airflow restriction. With a 128% increase in cross-sectional area over the stock intake pipes, the revised geometry lets the twin turbos breathe more efficiently for consistent, high-output performance across the RPM range. Every detail of the flow path and coupler design maintains laminar, high-speed airflow with smooth transitions and consistent cross-sectional dimensions to eliminate turbulence, and even the dry filters use radiused entry edges to minimize intake losses and increase volumetric efficiency. This carbon lid version is secured with magnetic fasteners for easy filter serviceability.

Dyno and Flow-Bench Proven

AMS partnered with pro tuner Sam Barros to test the BMW S58 intake on a fully built 2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive with flex-fuel tuning, upgraded injectors, AMS cooling hardware, and catted downpipes, evaluated back-to-back against the factory airbox. After recalibration, dyno testing showed a peak increase of +86whp at 5900rpm and a sustained average of +66whp beyond 5000rpm, with improved torque and sharper throttle response. In flow-bench testing using MoTeC data acquisition under simulated 600whp load, the stock intake showed a -2.15 psi pressure drop on the right bank while the AMS system recorded only -1.05 psi, with superior, balanced flow across both banks for easier tuning. On track, pro driver Jackie Ding ran the intake on his G87 M2 race car and recorded stronger top-end power, higher top speeds, extended gear holds, and reduced lap times.

Notes

This is the carbon fiber lid configuration; an open-airbox version of this intake is also available
As hand-laid carbon fiber parts, the lids may show slight imperfections or weave pattern variances; this is expected and not a defect
Performance numbers can vary with vehicle, tuning, and supporting modifications

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
