Karbonius Carbon Fibre Airbox, OEM Style, CSL Sound, MAF Compatible, No Remap - BMW E46 M3 and BMW Z4M S54
Transform your S54 with the Karbonius carbon fibre airbox for BMW E46 M3 and BMW Z4M. This OEM style carbon intake delivers the iconic CSL airbox sound while retaining full everyday drivability. It is MAF compatible, uses the stock intake elbow, and requires no remap. If you want the addictive CSL induction noise without the complexity of a full CSL conversion, this is the carbon fibre air box to buy.
Built 100 percent from prepreg carbon fibre and autoclave cured in Spain, the finish, fit and durability are superb. Expect a deeper, sharper induction roar that unlocks the signature S54 character. Testing indicates approximately +12 dB over the plastic OEM airbox. A recent dyno comparison showed around +4 hp versus stock which is within normal margin of error, so there is no significant power increase and no power loss. The aim here is sound, response and OEM plus aesthetics, and it delivers.
