BMW M3 G80 / M4 G82 | Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber GTS Vented Hood

BMW M3 G80 / M4 G82 Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber GTS Vented Hood

Engineered for BMW M3 G80 and M4 G82 owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber GTS Vented Hood brings race-track styling and functional engine bay heat extraction to the G-generation M family. Dual functional vents extract hot air from the S58 turbocharged engine bay, dramatically transforming the front profile of both M3 G80 Sedan and M4 G82 Coupé. Imported from leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this BMW G80/G82 carbon hood fits OEM hinge and latch points directly.

If you're building a BMW M3 G80 tuning or M4 G82 modification project and want a part that both reduces front-axle weight and improves engine bay cooling, this GTS hood is a top-tier upgrade: functional and visual. Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon is noticeably lighter than the factory aluminum hood, translating to front-axle weight loss and quicker turn-in. It matches the race DNA of the S58-powered G-generation M family (M3 G80 473 hp, Comp 503 hp, CS 543 hp; M4 G82 + CSL 543 hp).

Key Features

• GTS-Inspired Design: Dual functional air extraction vents inspired by the M3/M4 GTS legacy.
• Prepreg Dry Carbon Technology: Autoclave-cured plies under high heat and pressure, a more consistent weave.
• Weight Savings: Noticeably lighter than the OEM aluminum hood. Front-axle weight reduction.
• Engine Bay Cooling: Vents extract heat from the S58 turbo bay, lowering operating temperatures.
• Dual Profile Fit: Direct fit on M3 G80 Sedan and M4 G82 Coupé front geometry (G83 Convertible included).
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon pattern under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Direct OEM Fit: Bolts to OEM hinge and latch points. Original hood dampers reused.

Prepreg Dry Carbon vs. Wet Carbon: Which Is Better?

Most aftermarket carbon parts use wet lay-up, where resin is hand-applied at room temperature, leaving voids and inconsistent weight. Prepreg (dry) carbon:

• Cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure → a more consistent weave
• A controlled resin ratio → lighter and stronger
• The production method widely chosen in motorsport
• Minimal UV fading over years of use

Installation Notes

1. Mark OEM hood position before unbolting hinges.
2. Remove hood dampers from both sides.
3. Detach OEM hood and install the carbon hood on the hinges.
4. Reinstall hood dampers.
5. Adjust hood latch and alignment.
6. Professional installation recommended if adding hood pins.

Care & Maintenance

Wash with pH-neutral shampoo. Apply carbon-safe sealant every 6 months. Keep pressure washer 30 cm away.

Yes. M3 G80 Sedan and M4 G82 Coupé share the same front-end and hood hinge geometry. M4 G83 Convertible is also compatible.

Are the vents actually functional?
Yes. The vents extract hot air from the engine bay, lowering temperatures in the S58 turbo bay.

Can OEM hood dampers be reused?
Yes. The carbon hood preserves OEM damper points; standard open/close mechanism works.

Compatible with M3 CS, M4 CS, M4 CSL?
Yes. All G80/G82 trims (standard, Competition, CS, CSL) share the same front-end mounting geometry.

No. F-generation uses different front-end and hood geometry, S55 engine.

Compatible with M2 G87?
No. M2 G87 has different hood and front-end geometry.

Will rain damage dry carbon hood?
No. Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon is fully waterproof. Vent channels may allow water droplets into the bay, which is designed-for in the BMW S58 engine.
