Unlock the true performance potential of your BMW E52 Z8 with the Eventuri Carbon Fiber Intake System, engineered to deliver enhanced power, throttle response, and airflow dynamics. Designed with precision and manufactured using high-quality prepreg carbon fiber, this intake system is a direct enhancement to the Z8's iconic V8 platform, blending aesthetics with cutting-edge engineering.
The Eventuri intake system replaces the OEM Z8 airbox lids with beautifully sculpted carbon fiber lids that increase internal volume and feature integrated MAF (Mass Air Flow) tubes. These redesigned lids optimize airflow by reducing internal stagnation points, allowing the bespoke high-flow dry panel filters to function more effectively. The result is a smoother, more consistent airflow that improves throttle responsiveness and adds measurable gains across the rev range.
This system takes full advantage of the Z8’s well-designed OEM airbox base, which includes a large cold air intake extending behind the front bumper. By enhancing only the areas that introduce restriction, the Eventuri system preserves the benefits of the factory setup while maximizing overall efficiency and flow.
To further improve performance, the intake includes custom EPDM flexible hoses that reduce turbulence and promote a more laminar flow into the engine. Supporting hardware, including CNC-machined MAF sensor mounts and laser-cut stainless steel brackets, ensures long-lasting durability and precise fitment.
Dyno-tested by DREAM Automotive in the UK, the Eventuri system consistently demonstrated power gains of 5–8 horsepower and 16 ft-lb of torque, with noticeable improvements in both part-throttle and wide-open throttle response. The intake also delivers a more engaging driving experience, with the engine pulling more confidently toward redline.

Transform the auditory character of your BMW S62-powered vehicle with the Eventuri Carbon Fiber Plenum Lid, a premium upgrade designed to enhance the driving experience through improved induction acoustics. Crafted entirely from 100% prepreg carbon fiber, this replacement for the factory plastic plenum lid introduces a rich and aggressive sound profile while elevating the engine bay aesthetics.
While this plenum lid does not provide a measurable horsepower gain, its value lies in the dramatic improvement to the intake sound. At lower RPMs, it delivers a deeper, more resonant tone, which evolves into a sharper, CSL-like induction note as you accelerate through the rev range. The result is a more immersive, motorsport-inspired driving experience that amplifies your connection to the car.
Eventuri fine-tuned the carbon fiber construction across multiple prototypes, adjusting the thickness and resonance properties to produce the ideal balance of volume and tone. The final design offers a significant acoustic improvement, making the S62 engine feel more alive and responsive—even without increasing power output.
This plenum lid is compatible with both the OEM airbox and aftermarket intake systems, including Eventuri’s own performance intake system for the E39 M5, which delivers measurable performance gains when paired together.
Key Features:
-
100% Prepreg Carbon Fiber Construction – Lightweight and durable with exceptional heat resistance
-
Enhanced Induction Sound – Deep, resonant tones at low RPMs with high-pitched, CSL-like acoustics at higher RPMs
-
Refined Acoustic Engineering – Multiple design iterations developed for optimized sound quality and volume
-
OEM-Compatible Fitment – Direct replacement for the factory plastic plenum lid
-
Compatible with OEM or Aftermarket Intakes – Versatile upgrade that pairs seamlessly with various intake setups
-
Premium Engine Bay Aesthetic – Adds a motorsport-inspired look to the S62 engine compartment
-
No Performance Gain – Designed specifically for acoustic enhancement and visual appeal
Fitment:
-
BMW E39 M5 (2000-2003) – 4.9L V8 (S62 Engine)
-
BMW E52 Z8 (2000-2003) – 4.9L V8 (S62 Engine)
