Description: Have you been longingly looking at the 2/3/4 series and become jealous of all the aftermarket options available to them? Have you reached out and pled with your favorite manufacturer to produce solutions to bigger bodied platforms so you too can enjoy added performance and sound? Have you thought all of it was in vain and your requests were ignored? That is not the case. Dinan has heard your inquiries and is pleased to offer an intake for the B58 powered ‘G’ chassis cars of the 5/6/7/8 and X series.

Like its smaller bodied ‘G’ chassis siblings, the Dinan carbon fiber intake for the bigger B58 vehicles utilizes a semi-open design that incorporates multiple auditory ports on a revised lid, so induction sounds of the turbo are more evident. Beyond the additional sound openings employed in the new design, the immense resonator assembly used in the stock setup to reduce unwanted turbo sounds is also eliminated with the Dinan system. Together, these elements allow the engine to nearly achieve its full sound potential but when paired with the optional turbo inlet (and fit kit) the full intake tract to the turbo is effectively replaced for further audio enhancement.

While sound is undoubtedly important for a large swath of consumers, performance enhancements are equally as important to others. Common to all Dinan intake design, improvements upon the factory design by increasing flow via a larger airbox and filter element were made. These standard adjustments improv throttle response (and acceleration) and lessen the strain on the turbocharger for maximum efficiency. While box and filter enlargement and redesign are major factors in ultimately producing a more potent intake, they are not the only variables in creating a more efficient design either. The resonator assembly that limited auditory enjoyment also created a more turbulent airflow path by introducing alternative stunted pathways. The Dinan carbon fiber intake tube eliminates these flow disruptions with a smoother, direct flow path for maximum potential efficiency and an overall 20% greater flow when compared to stock. With these flow and efficiency improvements also comes greater power, particularly off the line, culminating in maximum gains of +7 WHP & +12 lb-ft at 2500 RPM on a completely stock vehicle.

Built to elicit a more pronounced sound, provide improved performance with appreciable power gains, and imbue the engine bay with some carbon class -- the Dinan B58 carbon fiber intake for the ‘G’ chassis 5/6/7/8/X series is a modification must for any enthusiast looking to have it all.

NOTE: For B58 ‘G’ chassis 5/6/7/8/X owners that wish to run the Dinan Turbo Inlet (D760-0061) for maximum sound, the appropriate Dinan Intake (D760-0068) as well as the associated Inlet Fit Kit (D763-0100) are REQUIRED. The Dinan Turbo Inlet will NOT mate with the factory intake system.

Features/Benefits:

• More Power: Maximum gains of +7 WHP & +12 lb-ft @ 2500 RPM without additional modifications
• A pronounced sporty sound courtesy of a semi-open design
• Improved throttle/turbo response compared to stock resulting in quicker acceleration
• Flows 20% more than stock (stock: 416 CFM, Dinan: 506 CFM in 15-inches of H2O)
• 66% larger volume air box (stock: 150in3, Dinan: 250in3) for increased breathability
• 44% increase in filter area (stock: 56.75.3in², Dinan: 82in²) for optimum flow
• Optimized carbon fiber intake tube with less restriction
• Washable and reusable high flow pleated cotton gauze filter
• Quick and easy installation

Looks great! Any plans for one for M60i's? I'd be first in line

Once we get an S68 (2024 X5M) in shop we can evaluate what may be possible and if we can realistically adapt an intake to fit it and the M60i variants with the same engine at the same time.

We really need Dinan axleback exhaust to replace pathetic stock exhaust sound on M60i.
I am sure that you can get many M60i owners to purchase the exhaust if you release the product at reasonable price (around 2k usd).

Can’t agree more 110%! Need to bring the proper V8 sound back on the road.

They make a kit for the 40i (above) and M, but not the M50i. Would be nice to conjure some kind of exotic intake sound from these vehicles.

Looking at the price of this and the X5M and not sure $1000-2100 would be worth it on a grocery getter (M50i).

Just ordered mine yesterday with turbo inlet pipe and the fir kit.

Curious to see if this kit actually fits the LCI '24 40i models, with all the minor changes BMW made.

The only 2024 model it would fit is the 840i as that continues to use pre-2024 components. The new 540i, 740i as well as the 2024 (2023 in the case of the X7) X5/X6/X7 40i's use a new setup entirely as the intake/filter/MAF sensor and air duct part numbers are all different then previous years. Just from ETK technical drawings the setup has changed a fair amount although just from a casual look it may not appear to be as obvious.

Great info to have- thank you! Sounds like I just need to sit down and be patient.

When do you expect to have the turbo inlet pipe and fitting to be back in stock?

ETA on the next batch of inlet carbon is roughly 2 weeks out. Fit kits can be built pretty much on demand but aren't a priority for production until the inlets are available. Don't serve much purpose without them after all.

[raannathr333]

Copy that. So if ordered now eta may be 4 weeks +/-?

Should be less but yeah that seems reasonable.

Just finished install of
Inlet and cold air intake. Inlet kit is not really needed if you ask me. Rubber coupler that was part of inlet kit had a cut in it right in the middle and thank god I've noticed it when i inspected before the install. Ended up using the rubber coupler that came with the cold air intake. Inlet pipe clamp and rubber gasket that goes on the inside of the inlet can be reused from the oem inlet pipe, if the kit wasnt purchased.
Not going to lie It was a bit of a b!tch remove oem parts to install new.
Wire to the MAF sensor is streched to the max btw, Dinan_Engineeringi would rethink the location of the slot closer to the engine a bit, Wires are under a bit of tension when plugged in had to pop the box with air filter, plug the sensor and then pull and push down to set it in place.
Other then that its not bad at all.

Does dinan plan on releasing strut braces for g05? Oem ones are super ugly.

Thanks for the feedback and notes but I would caution against some of the reccomendations. Specifically using the stock components rather than the supplied pieces in the fit kit when pairing to the Dinan turbo inlet. This might be a bit of a long reply so bear with me.

The inlet was designed for the F-chassis small cars and re-using those components from those cars for fitment (gasket/oring, C clip). The fit kit takes those components that would have been re-used from stock on those applications to ensure proper fitment on the new applications.

While the silicone coupler from the intake could physically mate to the Dinan inlet it will be VERY tight on the inlet side and put a fair amount of additional force on that piece as a result. Give the support folks a call at 1-800-341-5480 and they can overnight a new coupler if that one was damaged. The fit kit coupler is 1/4" larger on the inlet side and will make that connection much easier. The stock C clip I have to imagine is very tight as well so would be concerned with that fully being seated. Don't have personal experience with how that G05 stock clip is so I am just speaking on what I would presume to be the case. The gasket/O-ring is the most important piece however. As you likely found out the stock o-ring does not fit quite right in the inlet and has a tendency to "fold." This tends to not allow the seal to be completed and cause codes and worst case if it were to get free or tear it could result in being ingested into the turbo. I would STRONGLY suggest you use the o-ring in the fit kit as opposed to reusing the factory o-ring.

MAF location -- noted -- The X5/X6/X7 are the extremes in terms of distance to travel for that cable as they sit the farthest down in the engine bay amongst the application list but you should still be able to plug it in without removing the lid and doing it the way you describe -- it is relatively taught/tight though. Regardless, will relay that to the engineering as maybe there is something that can be done to make that a bit easier.

In regards to braces there are no plans for G05 braces at present but wholeheartedly agree they are hideous. I know originally we were hoping that either the 2/3/4 series or Supra braces would magically fit but that was not in the cards. Of the application list for this intake it would take 4 different sets of braces (5/8 series, X5/X6/X7, X3/X4, and 7 series) to cover the spectrum as they all have different lengths, angles, and twists. At that point volume comes into play and if each of those would sell enough to make it worthwhile. Outside of this interaction, I have not heard of the desire to date. =/

Hey, thank you for your replay.

I agree the o-ring and the c clamp its the best to use new, anything new is better than used but they are exactly the same on G05, c clamp is a bit tighter dinan vs oem nothing major. O - ring is the same. I eneded up using new didnan ones anyways

Silicone coupler that comes with the kit is thiner as well (less side wall = more flexible) than the one that comes with the cold air intake when it comes to circumference i didnt measure. Coupler from cold air did fit perfectly with a bit of wiggle, that was the easiest part of the install to be honest lol i wont bother replacing the couple with the cut, its all good i would end up using the thicker one anyways. just recommend everyone always inspecting all the pieces before the install

Adding this mod to the whip. Order up. 💪🤝

So any actual driving impressions? Sound clips?

As soon as I have it installed, will post a video review with before and after sound clips, etc. Waiting on the turbo inlet pipe prior to install. Patiently waiting hoping sometime over the next week or so.

Great post! I'm currently installing mine (2021 X5 40i / B58) and am stuck on removing the PCV valve and the hose clamped to bottom of main intake silencer. I've removed the clamp completely but no twisting or pulling is moving that hose. I've removed the entire airbox.
Any video links or hints greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
