BMW M5 F10 | Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Air Intake Hood

BMW M5 F10 Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Air Intake Hood

Engineered for BMW M5 F10 (2011-2016) owners, this Air Intake Carbon Fiber Hood features an aggressive top-mounted scoop that ducts fresh air directly toward the engine, delivering a track-ready look for your F10 M5. Made to factory-spec tolerances by leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this M5 F10 carbon air intake hood bolts directly to OEM hinge and latch points.

The F10 M5's S63B44T2 4.4L V8 biturbo (560-575 hp) demands high airflow. The top-mounted intake scoop forces cool air into the engine bay at speed: critical cooling support for the twin-turbocharged engine. Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon fiber is noticeably lighter than the OEM steel hood.

Key Features

• Top-Mounted Air Intake Scoop: Channels fresh air into the engine bay at speed; supplemental cooling for the twin-turbo S63B44T2.
• Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Technology: Autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure, a more consistent weave.
• Worthwhile Weight Saving: Noticeably lighter than the OEM steel hood.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic pattern under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Direct OEM Fit: Bolts to F10 M5 hinge and latch points.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Durable clear coat against fading and chemicals.
• Aerodynamic Appearance: Scoop reduces engine bay temperature and adds visual aggression.

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

Most aftermarket carbon is produced with wet lay-up. 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. Secure the vehicle on level ground, prop the hood open.
2. Remove stock hood hinge bolts, disconnect sensor/washer lines.
3. Mount the new carbon hood on the hinges, align.
4. Torque the hinge bolts to the manufacturer's recommended torque.
5. Adjust hood gap to bumper and fenders.
6. Verify the intake scoop aligns with the engine bay opening.

Care & Maintenance
