E-INTAKE Open Carbon Intake suitable for BMW M2 G87 / M3 G80 / G81 / M4 G82 / G83 (S58)

Genuine carbon fiber in the engine compartment – the premium choice for the S58

Anyone who tunes their BMW SFor those who want more than just performance with their 58-biturbos, the E-INTAKE carbon intake is the way to go. This open intake is not only functionally one of the best on the market for M2 G87, M3 G80, M3 Touring G81 and M4 G82 / G83 – but also visually the highlight in the engine compartment. Made entirely of genuine carbon fiber, not as a mere shell, but as a functional airflow component.

While standard intake kits on the market use powder-coated hard pipes or simple heat shields, E-INTAKE consistently relies on carbon fiber components – including the intake pipes themselves. The result: an engine bay that impresses every time the hood is opened.

Performance – what the intake really delivers

Faster boost pressure build-up: The enlarged carbon intake pipes bring more air volume to the twin turbo – the response during acceleration becomes more direct, the boost kicks in earlier.
Audible turbo and intake sound: The distinctive intake noise comes clearly into the engine compartment – no muffling by the OEM closed-box intake.
Flow-optimized pipe routing: Minimal turbulence, maximum airflow to the turbocharger. Aerodynamically sophisticated, not just carbon fiber look.
High-throughput performance filters: Multi-layered construction, based on S58-characteristic matched
Real carbon fiber in the engine compartment: Premium look to match any high-quality tuning setup

Registration – Section 19.3 Partial report

The E-INTAKE intake system comes with a complete §19.3 parts certificate. Specifically, this means that the intake system must be registered by a testing engineer (TÜV, DEKRA, KÜS) via a modification approval process – this is a standard appointment and easily achievable.

Good to know: The compatibility with ECE-type-approved exhaust systems like GRAIL, as well as with ECE downpipes, has been tested and is permissible. You can have your intake and exhaust system approved in one appointment with the inspector – saving you time and effort.

For those who want to outsource the entire workflow including registration: At FLOW DOWN® in Essen, we can take care of assembly and registration preparation in one go, if desired.

E-INTAKE vs Ramair – which intake kit is right for you?

Anyone who chooses between the two top-SAnyone considering a 58-inch intake on the market should be aware of the differences. Both products are technically high-quality – the choice depends on your priorities:

E-INTAKE (this intake): Genuine carbon fiber in the intake pipes = premium look in the engine bay. §19.3 parts certificate = registration with an inspector is required. For tuners who value aesthetics and high quality.
Ramair Proram Series: Black hard pipes with carbon heat shields (no carbon inside the pipes). TTG approval = no registration required, simply carry the documents with you. For tuners who want the fastest, simplest approval process.

Rule of thumb: Carbon fiber look in the engine compartment is a priority → E-INTAKE. A fast, registration-free solution is a priority → Ramair. Both offer the same performance class; the difference lies in the appearance and the approval process.
