CarbonXtreme BMW G05 X5 LCI Carbon Fiber Front Air Intake Replacement OEM Style
The G05 X5 Carbon Fiber Front Air Intake Replacement by CarbonXtreme is designed to elevate your BMW X5 G05 LCI by enhancing both its appearance and performance. This high-quality carbon fiber front air intake replacement offers a perfect blend of aggressive styling and functional improvement, improving airflow to your vehicle’s engine while maintaining a sleek, aerodynamic profile.
Made from premium carbon fiber, the air intake is available in two material options:
-
Dry Carbon Fiber: Manufactured using pre-preg carbon fiber, which is heat-cured under high pressure in CNC aluminum molds. Dry carbon is extremely rigid, lightweight, and offers superior strength, making it ideal for performance builds that require weight reduction without compromising on durability.
-
Wet Carbon Fiber: Hand-laid carbon fiber, finished with a high-gloss clear coat. While slightly heavier than dry carbon, it provides the same aggressive look and is a more affordable option for those looking to upgrade the appearance of their BMW at a lower cost.
The OEM-style carbon fiber air intake replacement is designed to be a direct fit, meaning it requires no modifications to your vehicle. The installation is quick and easy—simply remove the stock air intake and replace it with the carbon fiber version using the factory mounting points. No drilling, cutting, or special tools are required for this straightforward installation process.
Not only does the carbon fiber front air intake provide a bold, aggressive look for your X5, but it also improves engine performance by enhancing airflow. The more efficient airflow helps optimize engine cooling, ensuring that your BMW runs cooler, especially under high-performance conditions. This is particularly beneficial for those who drive in warmer climates or engage in more spirited driving.
Each air intake is finished with a UV-resistant gloss clear coat, ensuring that the carbon fiber retains its vibrant, glossy finish over time. The protective coating helps prevent fading, yellowing, and oxidation, ensuring the intake maintains its high-quality appearance even after prolonged exposure to the elements.
Whether you’re looking to complete your carbon fiber exterior or improve your BMW’s engine performance, the CarbonXtreme OEM Style Carbon Fiber Front Air Intake Replacement is the ideal upgrade for your G05 X5 LCI.

Precision Fit
Upgrade with Confidence
Designed for Precision Fitment
Every CarbonXtreme part is developed from OEM CAD references and vehicle scans to match factory mounting geometry and edge radii. Metal tooling and dedicated jigs control hole positions and panel curvature, supporting consistent alignment across production runs. We engineer vehicle-specific clips and brackets for the original cavities to reduce trimming and rework. Each batch undergoes dry-fit checks and dimensional sampling before packaging to help installers achieve a predictable, secure fit.
Note: As composite aftermarket parts, minor adjustment may be required depending on vehicle history and bumper tolerances
Crafted for Lasting Clarity.
At CarbonXtreme, every carbon fiber part undergoes meticulous finishing to ensure premium quality and lasting durability. All products are coated with BASF Glasurit clear coat, applied in 3–4 layers to achieve a smooth, mirror-like surface with strong UV and yellowing resistance. This finishing standard is our foundation, providing customers with a level of refinement far beyond common aftermarket products.
Crafted for Lasting Clarity
For enthusiasts with higher expectations, we also offer a premium upgrade option: the Glasurit 923-447 (BASF) clear coat. Known for its scratch resistance and micro self-healing capability, this finish minimizes swirl marks under sunlight and delivers a showroom-grade gloss. Due to its demanding spray conditions and extended curing process, this option requires longer lead times and accounts for roughly 30% of the product’s value. It is reserved for customers who seek uncompromising quality and perfection.
No matter which option you choose, CarbonXtreme ensures that every piece reflects our pursuit of excellence—combining aesthetics, durability, and performance in one.
Product details
Customer Options & Support
We go beyond standard aftermarket solutions by offering customization options. Many of our front grilles and intake ducts can be equipped with protective mesh covers to prevent insect or debris intrusion. If the product you want does not include this option, our team can add it upon request.
For larger panels such as carbon fiber trunk lids or hoods, we also provide a pre-delivery vinyl wrap service. Choose your desired color or finish style, and we will apply it before shipment—saving time and labor in your market.
Additionally, for smaller parts like front lips or rear spoilers, some of our clients have requested and received protective films (clear or matte PPF) applied before shipment. This option is available upon request for those who want added surface protection.
Production & Delivery
Most of our products are made to order rather than kept in stock. Processing times may vary depending on the item, but we will always confirm an estimated delivery schedule with you after purchase. If you need faster delivery, please contact us—we will do our best to provide an accelerated option depending on factory and logistics availability.
Why CarbonXtreme
All of our products are finished with BASF Glasurit clear coat in 3–4 layers, delivering strong UV resistance and long-term gloss retention. For high-standard builds, we also offer an upgrade to PPG 447 clear coat for an even deeper, mirror-like shine.
Beyond strength and lightweight benefits, the real hallmark of premium carbon fiber is its surface flatness and visual refinement. Cheap parts often look wavy under direct light, while our finishing process creates a smooth, distortion-free reflection. This is what gives our dry carbon parts a visibly superior look—so refined that your friends will instantly recognize them as true high-end upgrades.
Warranty & Support
Every order is fully protected. If you receive a product that is damaged in transit or shows structural issues, we will immediately provide a replacement or arrange a fair solution. Just contact us with proof, and our team will handle the rest—you won’t be left bearing unnecessary losses. We are in this for the long run, and your second order is the highest recognition of our commitment.
FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Will this fit my exact model, trim, and year (LCI/Pre-LCI, M Sport vs. base)?
Yes—fitment follows OEM geometry. At checkout we require your vehicle details (model/year, trim, LCI/Pre-LCI, bumper type/photos) and perform a second verification. If your selection doesn’t match your vehicle, we’ll alert you before fulfillment to correct it.
What if I have aftermarket bumpers or prior bodywork?
Aftermarket bumpers and vehicles with prior collisions or repairs (even minor scrapes) can alter mounting geometry, which may cause installation difficulty. We’ve seen cases where a previous accident left the bumper deformed, making parts hard to seat—this is not a product defect. Please have your installer inspect mounting points before ordering.
Do I need to drill or cut?
Dry carbon: installs via factory mounting points; no drilling is generally required, except some rear wings that may require trunk drilling.
Wet carbon: due to process characteristics and possible deformation during transit or humidity changes, self-tapping screws may be needed to secure fitment.
Will the carbon tone match if I replace a single piece later?
Single-piece replacements are available. Minor batch-to-batch tone variance is normal; for perfect symmetry on L/R paired parts, replacing as a set is recommended. If you purchased from us and later damaged a part in a collision, send photos— we can usually offer a returning-customer discount on the replacement.
Will sensors, radar, PDC, and tow-hook access still work?
Some carbon grilles include pre-cut radar/PDC windows. Please review product photos carefully or provide OEM front-end photos before ordering. We typically re-confirm before shipment. If a misread leads to the wrong variant being ordered, exchanges are possible, but additional shipping costs may apply.
Can I choose gloss vs. matte or request specific finish options?
Standard is multi-layer BASF (Glasurit) gloss. Matte clear and special finishes can be built to order; lead time will differ.
What’s included in the box? Will I need extra hardware or tape?
Each product page lists what’s included. Vehicle-specific clips/brackets are included when required; high-bond tape or fasteners are provided where applicable. If an item needs OE hardware reuse, we’ll state it clearly.
What happens if my item arrives damaged?
You’re covered. Contact us within 48 hours with photos of the outer box, inner packaging, labels, and the part. We’ll arrange a replacement or a fair resolution at no extra cost. Keep the packaging until we confirm next steps.
What payment methods do you accept? Is it secure? Under which law?
We accept PayPal and Useepay, settling in USD via secure gateways with industry-standard encryption and fraud screening. Our Terms are governed by UK law.
