BMW M5 E60 (2005-2010) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber GTR Vented Hood

Engineered for BMW M5 E60 (2005-2010) owners, this GTR Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Vented Hood brings race-track aggression and engine-bay heat extraction to the only-ever V10 NA M5. Manufactured in Europe and quality-controlled by BYC Performance.

The M5 E60 is BMW M's only series-production V10 M5 — S85B50 5.0L V10 NA producing 507 hp. This GTR-styled carbon hood is noticeably lighter than OEM steel; vent channels are race-derived and reduce engine-bay temperatures under load.
