Maximize Airflow and Performance with Forge Motorsport's Carbon Fibre Inlet Duct
The stock BMW F-Chassis intake system draws air from a low-pressure zone ahead of the radiator, which becomes a bottleneck at higher speeds. Forge Motorsport’s Carbon Fibre Inlet Duct (FMINLD2) eliminates this restriction by introducing a direct, high-velocity airflow path into the intake system. This upgrade reduces inlet air temperatures, leading to better combustion efficiency, increased power, and sharper throttle response—especially at speeds over 35 mph where stock setups struggle.
Engineering Excellence
Using state-of-the-art 3D scanning, FEA simulation, and 3D printing, Forge Motorsport rigorously tested prototypes on vehicles like the BMW M140i (F20) and 335D/330D (F30). This ensured precision fitment, optimal flow dynamics, and everyday reliability. The final product is crafted from prepreg 2x2 carbon fibre twill, formed in an autoclave and finished with a UV-resistant high-gloss gel coat, offering a stunning motorsport-inspired look for your engine bay.
Fitment & Options:
Depending on your vehicle’s intake position, you can choose:
-
INLD2-P – Driver’s side (e.g., M140i RHD)
-
INLD2-D – Passenger’s side (e.g., 330D/335D RHD)
-
INLD2-M – Both sides for symmetrical installation and maximum airflow
For enhanced performance, pair it with the Forge High-Flow Panel Filter (FMPAN-0172) or a Forge induction kit or inlet hose.
