The Front Air Inlet Ducts for F97 X3M & F98 X4M bring a clear increase in presence to the front of the pre-LCI models, replacing the plastic factory trim with genuine BMW M Performance carbon fibre. This version uses pre-preg carbon fibre shaped with BMW’s production standards, so the finish carries the depth, clarity, and precision expected from an OEM part. The ducts sit in the same mounting points used by the original trim, which keeps the fit exact and helps the upgrade feel natural on the bumper.
Each duct adds a motorsport-inspired touch without changing the character of the car. The gloss lacquer protects the carbon fibre from UV exposure and daily weather, keeping its rich weave visible over time. Many owners choose this upgrade when refining the look of the front end, as the carbon fibre pairs well with other M Performance components and lifts the visual identity of the vehicle.
By retaining all factory geometry, the ducts settle into place with clean lines and consistent spacing. They feel purposeful from every angle and give the front of the X3M or X4M a sharper, more confident impression.

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.
- Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content. Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
- Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
- Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
- Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
