Does the MMX G8x carbon intake fit the BMW M3 Touring (G81) as well as the sedan?

Yes. The MMX G8x carbon intake fits the G80 BMW M3 sedan and the G81 M3 Touring, along with the G87 M2 and G82 / G83 M4, since all four share the S58 turbocharged inline-six engine and the same factory intake mounting points.

How much airflow does the carbon intake add over the factory system?

It increases overall airflow through the intake pipes by an average of 23%, including a 38% increase through the crossover pipe and a 7% increase through the turbo-side pipe, alongside 49% more filter surface area than the factory airbox, which supports quicker turbo spool and sharper throttle response.

How difficult is installation?

Installation is Level-2 and the intake bolts directly to the factory mounting locations using the factory hardware points, with no permanent modification required. The kit includes the air boxes, intake pipes, cone filters, billet aluminum hardware, and all installation hardware needed for a complete swap.

What is the intake made from?

The air boxes and intake pipes are hand-laid from 3K twill carbon fiber with zero fiberglass in the layup, paired with billet 6061-T6 aluminum hardware for the precision-machined components. It comes in your choice of gloss or matte carbon finish.

How is this different from MMX's aluminum intake pipe set?

It is a complete carbon fiber induction system, not just pipework. The MMX Intake Pipe Set replaces only the factory intake tubing, while this system swaps the factory air boxes, intake pipes, and filters for carbon fiber components and high-flow cone filters, for a larger gain in filter area and airflow.

Can I upgrade further after installing this intake?

Yes. The MMX G8x carbon intake is compatible with the MMX Performance S58 Turbo Inlet Elbow Set, sold separately, so owners can add it later to push turbo-side airflow even further after the carbon intake is already installed and running.

Description

MMX Carbon Fiber Intake System for G8x BMW M2 / M3 / M4

The MMX G8x carbon fiber intake replaces the factory air boxes and intake tract on the S58-powered BMW M2, M3, and M4 with 3K twill carbon fiber components, increasing filter surface area and airflow through the intake pipes. Smooth internal carbon surfaces cut turbulence ahead of the turbos, and the complete bolt-on kit uses the factory mounting locations with no permanent modification required.

Construction

The air boxes and intake pipes are hand-laid from 3K twill carbon fiber with zero fiberglass in the layup, keeping the internal surfaces smooth to reduce turbulence ahead of the turbocharger. Billet 6061-T6 aluminum hardware handles the precision-machined connection points, and an open MMX logo is cut into the air box upper surface, both a visual signature and a vent for more induction sound into the engine bay.

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.
