Why Upgrade?

Proven Performance on Track

• Appreciable gains in power and torque across the rev range

• Sharper throttle response for precise driver input

• Integrated snorkel design to feed cold air directly from the front of the car

Motorsport DNA

• Built from prepreg carbon fibre for maximum strength, lightness, and heat resistance

• Internal carbon trumpets for optimised airflow and efficiency

• Aggressive “double bubble” styling to complement the M3’s performance look
