Dinan 2015-2018 BMW X5M/X6M F85 Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake

Striking is the first word that comes to mind when you pop the hood of a F8x X5M/X6M with a Dinan carbon fiber cold air intake system. The under hood appearance is completely changed and set off by intricate carbon detailing that make the engine compartment just as flattering as the sleek exterior lines the vehicle possesses. While the aesthetics are the most recognizable change to the system what is more impressive is the functionality that lies beneath the carbon fiber lid.

The care that went into the filter design is what makes the system function as well as it does. The stock filters are restrictive with only a miniscule 89in in total filter area. The stock filters also only allow air to be drawn in from the front and rear instead of around the entire surface area. Dinan’s custom filters on the other hand eliminate this wasted area and allow air to be drawn in from all around and increase the total filter area to 292.4in. That’s an unheard of 228% increase in filter area over the stock setup. In order to accomodate these massive filters the stock lid needed to be enlarged as much as the hood clearance would allow. This gave us the opportunity to implement its signature carbon fiber look and appeal while also increasing the overall volume of the airbox by 15%. The increased volume of the air box allows the larger filters to ingest more air at any given moment and elicit a slightly more audible and sporty tone over its stock counterpart. This optimized design yields increased HP/TRQ throughout the power band and shows consistent gains over stage 1 when combined with the stage 2 DINANTRONICS Performance Tuner.
