Infinity Design Carbon Intake System for BMW F10 M5/F12 M6

One of the most challenging intake systems we have manufactured to date given the design philosophy of our intakes and the space available in the F10 M5 chassis.

Specifications

Pre-Preg Carbon 4-piece system comprising of inlet tubes and filter housings

Single piece inlet tube with integrated MAF sensor eliminating flexi hose

Lower Air Filter Housings with integrated air feed fitting directly to oem air feed

Bespoke large surface area Air Filters

Dual inlet semi sealed Design

Silicone Hoses and Clamps

+ 15-25hp

OEM levels of inlet air temperature


The OEM Design
The factory intake system of the F10 M5 system is not a sealed design.  The front opening attaches directly the front inlets which are in turn attached to the front air ducts located behind the grills and there is a second opening which opens into the engine bay against the wheel arch liner with it's own velocity stack protruding into the factory airbox.  This clearly suggests that one opening is not enough and the engineers had to create a separate opening to meet the high airflow demands of the engine which is understandable since the front intake has barely the same cross sectional area as the MAF.  The design is still however efficient as far as keeping the intake air temperatures low.  As far as being an ultimate performance intake, it is most certainly not with it's angular design, small volume and having an airflow with a directional path which is not direct.


Infinity Design
For this application we have opted for a smooth non concentric one-piece expanding inlet tube with integrated MAF attaching directly to the inlet tubes with silicone couplers.  The expanding large volume inlet tube acts like a large velocity stack which accelerates the airflow and is much larger than the small and short velocity stack fitted to the internals of the oem intake.  The result of the smoother airflow from our inlet tube is a far smoother lower rpm torque availability from the engine vastly improving drivability.  Throttle response is immediately felt to be smoother and more eager.
The inlet tube is attached via a stainless steel v band clamp to the air filter housing which attaches directly to the oem front air feed and has a 100mm opening facing towards the front corners of the engine bay rather than facing downwards towards the wheel arch liner away from engine heat.
