BMW M5 E60 (2005-2010) Forged Carbon Fiber Trunk Lid

Engineered for BMW M5 E60 (2005-2010) owners, this Forged Carbon Fiber Trunk Lid brings premium visual character and weight reduction to the only-ever V10 NA M5. Manufactured in Europe and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this trunk lid bolts directly to OEM mounting points.

The M5 E60 is BMW M's only series-production V10 M5 — the S85B50 5.0L V10 naturally-aspirated engine produces 507 hp. This forged carbon trunk lid is noticeably lighter than the OEM steel lid. Forged carbon composite uses randomly-oriented chopped-strand carbon fibers under high pressure — producing a unique marbled/swirl visual texture distinct from 2x2 twill prepreg.

Key Features

• Forged Carbon Composite: Chopped-strand carbon fiber pressed under high pressure — unique swirl/marble visual texture.
• Lightweight: Noticeably lighter than the OEM steel lid.
• Distinct from 2x2 Twill: Randomly-oriented fiber swirls — modern premium aesthetic.
• High Strength: Forged composite offers multi-directional (isotropic) strength.
• Direct OEM Fit: Plug & play on M5 E60 (2005-2010) hinge and lock points.
• Pre-LCI and LCI Fitment: 2005-2007 Pre-LCI + 2007-2010 LCI E60 M5.
• UV & Chemical Protection: High-gloss clear coat.

Forged vs. 2x2 Twill Carbon

• Forged Carbon (this product): Chopped strand, random swirl texture, isotropic strength
• 2x2 Twill Prepreg: Ordered weave, classic carbon fiber look
• Forged composite is the technology behind Lamborghini Huracán and Pagani Huayra parts
• Same price tier as twill prepreg — choice is aesthetic preference

Vehicle Fitment

• BMW M5 E60 Sedan Pre-LCI (2005, 2006, 2007) — S85B50 V10 NA 507 hp
• BMW M5 E60 Sedan LCI (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) — S85B50 V10 NA 507 hp

Important: NOT compatible with M5 E39 (V8 NA) or M5 F10 (V8 biturbo). E60 Sedan + E61 Touring share front geometry but trunk lid is Sedan-only — NOT compatible with E61 Touring. Our catalog also offers a separate 2x2 twill CSL Trunk Lid for E60 — this product is the forged composite material variant.
