EVENTURI EVE-X5M50-CF-INT Air Intake System (Carbon, Gloss) for BMW X5 M50i (G05) / X6 M50i (G06) 2019-

Introducing X5 G05 M50i intake. This intake is an adaptation of X5M intake which was a complete redesign of the stock airboxes with the aim of reducing pressure loss while increasing the flow rate and keeping inlet temperatures low. With the stock cold air feeds at the front of the car and the turbo inlets facing the rear of the car, the airflow has to negotiate a 180 degrees turn through each airbox resulting in a flow restriction. To overcome this we have introduced an additional cold air feed from the scuttle panel, which results in a more direct flow path to the turbo inlets. The additional feeds allow the intake to have a higher flow rate whilst keeping IATs low and have an additional benefit of de-restricting the sound of the turbos. With the intake openings now facing the cabin, the turbo flutter and pressure release sounds are clearly audible, elevating the driving experience to another level.

The Eventuri X5, X6 M50i intake system consists of a number of components engineered to perform a specific purpose and fabricated to the highest of standards. Use 100% pre-preg carbon fiber with no fibreglass which means we can achieve a smooth internal surface to maintain smoother airflow.

Each intake system consists of:

• 2 x Carbon Fiber Patented Venturi Filter Housings
• 2 x Bespoke High Flow Dry Cone Filters
• 2 x Carbon Fiber Twin Air Ducts
• Carbon Fiber Engine Cover
• 2 x EPDM Rear Air Feeds
• Silicon Couplers
• CNC Machined Bracket Mounts

Filter housing assemblies

The filter housings comprise of bespoke generation 2 filters, aluminium inlet cowls and stainless steel brackets. The carbon pod shrouds the reverse mounted filter and smoothly shapes the airflow down to the OEM turbo inlets. This changes the flow path from the OEM airbox where airflow enters the base of the airbox, changes direction by 90 degrees to travel through the panel filter and then changes direction again by 90 degrees to move through the tube section. Our system is a lot more direct with airflow entering the front of the filter housing and and moving into the turbo inlet section without any abrupt direction changes. The result is a smoother path from the filter to the turbo and therefore it is able to function with less drag.

Bespoke cone filter

In order to achieve the highest flow rate possible are using a filter element to make as much use of the space available in the engine bay as possible. The filter medium is ISO tested to ensure that filtration is in line with OEM standards and is also dry. The filter is constructed with our signature flow cones to aid in the Venturi housing principle.

Carbon twin air ducts

The biggest restriction in the stock system is the location of the feed in comparison to the orientation of the turbo inlets. The feeds are at the front of the car and the turbo inlets face the rear of the car. We have designed the air ducts with an additional opening at the top and introduced a secondary feed where cold air is taken from the scuttle panel. By using both the the OEM air feeds and the additional air feeds, system is able to flow with a higher rate as well as provide a less tortuous flow path to the turbos.

Carbon engine cover

Since filter housings have been designed for maximum volume, the OEM engine cover no longer fits into place. So we have produced a redesigned cover which finishes off the engine bay, covering the engine hardware for a refined aesthetic. We have allowed for gaps between the engine cover and the intakes so that the heat coming off the engine can easily dissipate rather than soak into the intake system.

The complete system comes together to provide an intake which improves on the stock airbox in performance, aesthetics and sound.
