Power You Can Feel: Eventuri Carbon Intake System for the BMW M5 G90/G99 (S68) – Discover Full Potential with Kitsune Performance!

1. Introduction: A New Era of Power – BMW M5 G90/G99 and the Power of the S68 Engine

The latest incarnations of the automotive legend, the BMW M5 in the G90 (Sedan) and G99 (Touring) generations, redefine the boundaries of what is possible in the segment of high-performance sedans and estates. These masterpieces of BMW M GmbH engineering are the culmination of decades of experience in creating cars that combine luxury with breathtaking performance. At the heart of these beasts is the new S68 engine – a 4.4-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 unit, which in its latest incarnation has been enhanced with an advanced plug-in hybrid system. This marriage of traditional combustion power with modern electric technology generates, depending on the sources and market specification, an impressive system power of 717-727 hp and a massive torque of up to 1,000 Nm (approx. 738 lb-ft). Such parameters put the new M5 at the absolute top right from the start.  

However, in the world of true car enthusiasts, the question "can it be better?" arises almost immediately. Can such an advanced and powerful machine as the new BMW M5 become even more perfect? ​​Can it be squeezed out of even more raw emotion, even more direct reactions and even more addictive sound? The answer is: yes. And this is where Eventuri enters the scene - a brand that with passion and engineering precision takes on the challenge of raising the bar even for such perfect designs.

It is worth noting that the new M5 G90/G99, being plug-in hybrids , base their dynamics on the cooperation of the S68 combustion engine and the electric unit. The Eventuri intake system, dedicated to the S68 engine , through its optimization, can positively influence the overall drive characteristics. The better response of the combustion engine, its ability to deliver power faster and more efficiently, translates into a more harmonious and dynamic cooperation with the electric motor. Even if the direct increase in power from the intake only concerns the V8 unit, the overall sensation of acceleration can become even more impressive.

What's more, BMW has for years been known for being somewhat conservative in declaring the factory power of its engines, especially in its M models. Independent dyno tests often show higher values ​​than the official ones. For example, IND Distribution measured 696 horsepower at the wheels (AWHP) in the BMW G90 M5, which, assuming about 15% losses in the driveline, could mean up to 820 hp at the crankshaft. If the actual base power is higher, then the increase declared by Eventuri is +14 WHP (wheel horsepower) becomes an improvement on an already more powerful unit. This means that the percentage impact on the driving experience could be even greater than the numbers in relation to BMW’s official figures would suggest. In this article, we delve into how the Eventuri Carbon Intake System transforms the experience of owning and driving the new BMW M5.

2. Why is the Factory Intake Just the Beginning of the Road to Perfection?

Car manufacturers, even those in the top performance segment, such as BMW M, have to accept certain compromises when designing production components. As has been rightly noted, the factory intake system in most sports cars is the result of a balance between efficiency, emission standards and production costs. While it does the job for everyday use, for the enthusiast looking for an uncompromising experience and maximum performance, there is always room for improvement.

The typical limitations of stock intake systems are due to several factors. First, the materials – often plastics, which, as practice shows, can become brittle and crack over time under the influence of constant thermal cycles generated by a powerful engine. Carbon fiber, used by Eventuri, is much more resistant and durable in this respect. Secondly, the design of factory intakes is often subordinated to minimizing engine noise and optimizing production costs, and not necessarily to ensuring absolutely free air flow. This can lead to restrictions that "choke" the engine, especially at higher RPMs or after modifications that increase the engine's demand for air.

The S68 engine in the BMW M5 G90/G99, despite its factory power, therefore has hidden potential waiting to be unleashed. Optimizing the intake system is one of the key steps in this direction. For the driver who wants something more than the standard, for whom every nuance in the engine's response and every decibel of pure sound counts, the factory intake is only a starting point, a solid base for further improvements.

Investing in an Eventuri carbon intake system is not only about immediate performance improvements, but also about long-term reliability. The aforementioned degradation of factory plastic components means their performance and integrity may deteriorate over time. Replacing with a pre-preg carbon fiber system is a preventive measure that ensures consistently high performance for many years of use, even under extreme conditions. Furthermore, if the BMW M5 owner plans further modifications, such as tuning the electronic control unit (ECU) or installing a sports exhaust system , the factory intake system can very quickly become a bottleneck, limiting the potential of these upgrades. The improved Eventuri intake, offering significantly more airflow , provides adequate "bandwidth" for further power increases, making it a fundamental modification for any serious tuning project.

3. Eventuri: Engineering Excellence for your BMW M5 (Product Code: EVE-G9X-CF-INT)

3.1. Eventuri Philosophy: "The Art of Airflow"

Eventuri is a brand that was born from passion and the need for excellence. Founded by a team of engineers and automotive enthusiasts, with extensive experience in fields as demanding as aeronautics and professional tuning, the company has set itself the goal of setting new standards in the design and technology of intake systems from the beginning. Their mission is clear: to create systems that deliver real, measurable gains in horsepower and torque. Crucially, Eventuri doesn’t base their claims on empty promises, but on solid evidence – each design is the result of in-depth research, CFD analysis, volumetric airflow testing, temperature measurements and rigorous dyno testing. The company prides itself on transparency, eagerly sharing information from the R&D process to show how much work and commitment it puts into each product. As the creators themselves admit, after years of disappointment with competing products that rarely lived up to their high-profile promises, they decided to take matters into their own hands and "rewrite the book."

This attention to detail is visible at every stage – from the concept, through the selection of the best materials (even the smallest screws and fixings are carefully selected), to the final execution. This approach, which requires significant investment in knowledge, time and specialist equipment, is a significant differentiator from many tuning companies offering products of questionable quality and unconfirmed promises. For a conscious customer looking for a premium product, the Eventuri philosophy is a guarantee that the price reflects technological advancement and certainty of operation. This is not buying a "piece of carbon", but an investment in engineering at the highest level. It is no wonder that this uncompromising pursuit of perfection has brought Eventuri global recognition and the status of a leading manufacturer of high-performance intake systems. , which further confirms that their approach is effective and appreciated by the most demanding users around the world.

3.2. Eventuri Key Intake Technologies for the M5 G90/G99 (S68)

The Eventuri intake system for the latest BMW M5 G90 and G99 with the S68 engine is the quintessence of the brand's philosophy, combining advanced technologies and materials to achieve maximum performance.

3.2.1. Patented Venturi Filter Housings: The Heart of the System

The central element of every Eventuri intake system is the patented filter housings, designed based on the Venturi effect. Unlike traditional solutions, often limited to a conical filter covered by a thermal shield, Eventuri uses a unique design with an inverted filter cone placed in a specially profiled carbon housing. Its smoothly tapering geometry accelerates the airflow while maintaining its laminarity (orderly, layered character). This reduces turbulence and resistance at the turbocharger inlet, allowing them to work much more efficiently. The result is a lower load on the wastegate valves, which translates into faster engine response and more dynamic power building. This patented technology is a fundamental difference compared to simpler solutions and is proof of Eventuri's engineering advancement - the customer pays for real, aerodynamic optimization, not just aesthetics.

3.2.2. Dual Carbon Fiber Intake Ducts: Intelligent Cold Air Intake

To ensure the S68 engine receives a constant supply of cool, dense air, the Eventuri system for the M5 G90/G99 uses innovative dual intake channels for each filter. The first intake draws air from the original factory channels located around the bumper and headlights. However, Eventuri engineers identified that relying solely on these points, combined with larger filter housings, could lead to undesirable pressure drop due to restricted flow geometry. To solve this problem, a second, additional intake was designed for each duct. These secondary openings were strategically placed at the top, near the edge of the hood, where temperatures and pressure are lower, providing access to a "zone of consistently cool air in the engine bay." This dual-source configuration minimizes system pressure drops and maximizes the efficiency of cool air delivery to the turbochargers. An additional effect, although very desired by enthusiasts, is the audibility of the turbochargers' operation (the characteristic "whistle") in the cabin, which adds a sporty driving experience.

3.2.3. Sealed System and Fighting the Power-Destroying Phenomenon of "Heat Soak"

A key aspect for maintaining high efficiency, especially in powerful turbocharged engines like the S68, is combating the "heat soak" phenomenon. It involves the absorption of heat from the heated engine chamber by the intake system elements, which leads to heating of the intake air, a drop in its density and, as a consequence, loss of power. To prevent this, the entire Eventuri system is fully sealed, which effectively blocks access of hot air from the engine chamber to the filters. The use of carbon fiber, which is characterized by low thermal conductivity, and potentially additional thermal shields (in some models Eventuri uses gold-plated shields for maximum insulation ), additionally minimizes heat absorption. Thanks to this, the Eventuri intake provides stable power gains, regardless of the conditions - whether the car is moving in dense city traffic or is used intensively on the race track. The benefits of installing the system are therefore not momentary, but persist during dynamic driving and at high ambient temperatures, which is crucial for true performance enthusiasts.

3.2.4. Increased Flow Diameter: More Air for Thirsty Turbines

Eventuri does not stop at improving the quality of the air flow (its laminarity); it is equally important to ensure the right amount of it. In the intake system for the BMW M5 G90/G99, the internal cross-section of the intake pipes at the critical point where they pass through the shock absorber struts has been increased by as much as 31% compared to the standard system. The specific figures speak for themselves: the standard airbox offers a cross-section of 6487 mm² at this point, while the Eventuri system has a cross-section of 8497 mm². This significant difference, combined with the elimination of the factory, often twisted and restrictive rubber tube between the filter housing and the turbocharger inlets , in favor of integrated, smooth carbon pipes, removes a key "bottleneck" in the stock system. The larger diameter and volume reduce flow resistance, making it easier for the turbochargers to "breathe" and allowing them to build boost pressure faster.

3.2.5. Eventuri Generation 2 Air Filters: Maximum Filtration, Minimum Restrictions

An integral part of every Eventuri system are specially designed air filters, in this case the latest, second generation (Gen 2). These are not random off-the-shelf components, but bespoke components, optimized for maximum filter surface area while maintaining minimal flow resistance. Their shape and design are precisely matched to work perfectly with the patented Venturi housings, maximizing their efficiency and ensuring the S68 engine receives a constant supply of clean air without unnecessary restrictions. This holistic approach to design, where each element of the system is carefully matched to the others, is a testament to Eventuri’s engineering prowess.

4. Measurable Results: What Do the Dyno Graphs Say?

Performance promises need to be backed up by hard data. Eventuri takes this subject very seriously, basing their claims on independent chassis dynamometer tests. For the intake system dedicated to the BMW M5 G90/G99 with the S68 engine, the documented gains are +14 horsepower at the wheels (WHP) and +11 foot-pounds of torque at the wheels (WTQ) , which translates to about +15 Nm . It is important to emphasise that these are values ​​measured "on the wheels" because they better reflect the real changes felt by the driver, taking into account losses in the drive system.

Equally important, these increases are not observed only at the maximum power point, but are spread consistently across the entire engine speed range. This means not only higher peak power, but above all better flexibility and availability of power at all times. Independent tests, conducted by the renowned MSL Performance workshop among others, lend additional credibility to these results.

Analysis of the dyno data also showed that, thanks to the higher efficiency of the Eventuri intake system, the turbochargers reach maximum boost pressure earlier and with a lower wastegate load. This is direct evidence of reduced resistance in the intake system and more efficient operation of the turbines. It is worth noting that the aforementioned increases were achieved despite the fact that during the tests of the Eventuri system the temperature in the dynamometer room was higher than during the tests of the series system. This suggests that in optimal, colder conditions, the potential of the Eventuri system could be even greater. Given BMW's aforementioned tendency to underestimate factory power output, and the fact that Eventuri testing was conducted in less favourable temperature conditions, the actual perceived gains may be even more significant than the published numbers suggest.

Reduced wastegate load, resulting from more efficient cylinder filling, may also have an additional long-term benefit. Reduced load and more efficient operation of turbochargers could theoretically contribute to longer turbo life by minimizing wear and thermal stress. Although this is not a primary selling point, it is a logical consequence of improved flow efficiency.

5. Beyond Horsepower: Sound and Everyday Driving Experience

The Eventuri Carbon Intake System for the BMW M5 G90/G99 is much more than just numbers on a dyno chart. It is a modification that transforms the subjective driving experience, engaging the driver's senses on a completely new level. One of the most frequently highlighted effects is the sharpened throttle response . The car becomes more direct, almost reading the driver's mind and responding more willingly to every, even the slightest touch of the accelerator. Any apparent heaviness disappears, and the powerful S68 engine seems even more alert and ready for action.

This improved responsiveness translates directly into better acceleration and a noticeably greater desire to rev . The M5 with the Eventuri intake pulls much more energetically, with unwavering force, all the way to the red zone on the tachometer. That feeling of constant pressure pushing you back into your seat is addictive and enhances the sporty character of this extraordinary vehicle.  

However, for many enthusiasts, an equally important, if not more important aspect of the modification is the unforgettable soundtrack . And here too, Eventuri does not disappoint. The installation of a carbon intake system releases a truly pure-bred gang of the V8 biturbo engine. The sound of the intake air becomes deeper, more aggressive and loud, and the characteristic whistle of working turbochargers (the so-called "turbo spool") is much more clearly audible, becoming music to the ears of every motoring enthusiast. Eventuri system users often emphasize that the sound itself is worth the purchase price, and the acoustic experience during acceleration is extremely satisfying. Importantly, this more expressive and sporty sound character is most noticeable during dynamic driving and acceleration, without becoming intrusive or tiring during quiet, everyday use.

This transformation of the driving experience goes deeper. Improved throttle response and a more communicative, richer engine sound make the driver feel much more connected to the machine. Every command issued with the right foot is met with an immediate response, and the ears receive significantly more information about what is happening under the hood. Together, these elements – immediate response and richer sensory information – lead to a feeling of greater control and deeper involvement in the driving process. This is the essence of the "joy of driving" so characteristic of BMW M cars, taken to an even higher level.
