VRSF Front Facing Air Intakes, F80 M3, F82 M4 | 2015-2020

The VRSF front facing intake kit replaces the factory airbox on the S55-powered F80 M3 and F82 M4 with a pair of open filters mounted right behind the front grille. Instead of drawing warm air from inside the engine bay, each turbo pulls cool, dense air straight from the front of the car, and you hear far more of the turbo and induction noise from the driver's seat.

What It Does

The stock M3 and M4 intake routes air through a long, restrictive path that soaks up heat from the radiator and engine. Placing the filters behind the grille openings keeps intake temperatures lower on hot days and during repeated pulls, which helps the S55 hold timing and boost. On a tuned car, the freer path also helps the turbos spool a little sooner and gives a sharper, louder intake note.

Materials and Construction

Each side is mandrel bent from 3-inch aluminum tubing, so the bore stays round and smooth through every bend. The MAF and vacuum flanges are CNC machined from billet aluminum for an accurate, leak-free fit, and the piping is powder coated black to match the engine bay. The kit is designed to bolt in using the factory mounting points.
