Does this engine cover fit the pre-LCI F95 X5M or F96 X6M?

No. This cover is built for the mild-hybrid S68 engine used in the F95 X5M LCI, F96 X6M LCI, and G09 XM. The pre-LCI F95 and F96 use a different engine cover shape and are not a fit for this part.

Will this work with an Eventuri intake system installed?

No. Karbonius confirms this engine cover is not compatible with Eventuri intake systems, so if you already run an Eventuri intake or plan to install one on your X5M, X6M, or XM, this specific cover will not fit alongside it.

What is the X5M engine cover made from?

It is made from 100% aerospace-grade prepreg carbon fiber, autoclave-cured to aerospace standards under ISO 9001-compliant manufacturing processes in Spain, with precision CNC-cut venting built directly into the finished panel for functional heat evacuation under the hood at highway speed.

Does the factory M emblem transfer over to the new cover?

Yes, but it is not included with this cover. The factory M aluminum emblem must be removed from the factory engine cover and transferred onto the new Karbonius cover during installation, since Karbonius does not supply its own replacement badge.

Is professional installation required?

Professional installation is recommended. The cover uses every factory mounting point for an OEM-level fit, but a professional install helps ensure the transferred M emblem and the final overall fitment come out clean, properly aligned, and completely free of gaps.

Is this a one-off part, or does each cover come with any documentation?

Each Karbonius X5M engine cover is individually serialized with a production date and ships with its own numbered certificate of authenticity, and the piece itself is backed by a full 2-year manufacturer warranty against any manufacturing defects that turn up.

Description

Karbonius Composites Carbon Engine Cover for F95 BMW X5M LCI, F96 X6M LCI and G09 XM

The Karbonius X5M engine cover replaces the factory panel on the mild-hybrid S68 V8 in the F95 X5M LCI, F96 X6M LCI, and G09 XM with 100% aerospace-grade prepreg carbon fiber, autoclave-cured and precision CNC-vented for both heat evacuation and a finished look under the hood. Karbonius builds each cover in Spain using 3D scanning and rapid prototyping for OEM-level fitment at every factory mounting point, then hand-paints the signature red accent and serializes the piece with its own numbered certificate of authenticity.

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.
