BMW 5 Series E60 / E61 / M5 Aluminium Air Induction Intake Scoops 2007 - 2010 (Pair)
SKU: 1005009572151203-black
Boost the cold air intake performance of your BMW 5 Series E60 / E61 with these premium aluminium air induction intake scoops, precision crafted from aircraft-grade aluminium with a powder-coated finish for superior durability and a refined engine bay aesthetic. The factory air intake on the E60 / E61 chassis is restrictive by design — limiting airflow available to the airbox and reducing engine breathing performance, particularly at higher RPM. These intake scoops install at the front-end air inlet locations and channel additional cool air directly into the airbox, increasing intake volume, reducing intake air temperatures, and delivering a more responsive throttle feel. Supplied as a pair for left and right installation, finished in black with red accent for a sharp, motorsport-inspired engine bay upgrade.
Features:
- Aircraft-grade aluminium construction – delivers exceptional strength, lightweight performance, and long-term durability for sustained driving conditions
- Powder-coated surface finish – delivers a sophisticated black and red aesthetic while providing corrosion resistance and abrasion protection
- Direct intake performance benefit – channels additional cool air into the factory airbox for improved intake volume and reduced intake air temperatures
- Sport-inspired engine bay upgrade – elevates the appearance of the front intake area with a premium motorsport-grade aesthetic
- Supplied as a pair (Left & Right) – complete coverage of both factory air intake inlet locations
- Wide chassis compatibility – fits both diesel and petrol E60 / E61 variants including the M5

Contents:
- 2x Aluminium Air Induction Intake Scoops (Left & Right)
Benefits:
- Increased intake airflow – channels additional cool air into the factory airbox for improved engine breathing, particularly noticeable at higher RPM where factory intake restriction is most limiting
- Reduced intake air temperatures – cooler intake air increases air density and combustion efficiency, providing modest power gains and better throttle response
- Aircraft-grade aluminium construction delivers significantly higher durability than plastic alternatives, withstanding sustained underhood heat and vibration without degradation
- Powder-coated finish maintains the premium black and red appearance over long-term outdoor and driving exposure without fading or corrosion
- Significant engine bay aesthetic upgrade – the motorsport-inspired scoops draw attention to the front intake area and complement the E60 chassis's purposeful styling
- Compatible across the entire E60 / E61 model range from base 520i to the V10-powered M5 – versatile upgrade applicable to most owners regardless of trim level
Installation Notes:
- Drilling may be required for proper installation – this is a permanent modification to the front intake area. Do not install if you require fully reversible modifications
- Carefully measure and mark mounting hole positions before drilling – measure twice, drill once
- Use appropriate drill bits for aluminium and surrounding bumper / intake area materials – avoid damaging adjacent components during drilling
- Apply rust-prevention treatment to any exposed metal at drilled mounting points – particularly important for steel intake area components
- Ensure the installed scoops do not interfere with normal hood operation, airbox access, or any sensors or wiring in the front intake area
- Verify the scoops do not redirect water or debris into critical engine components – particularly important for vehicles driven in rain, snow, or off-road conditions
- Professional installation strongly recommended unless you have experience with intake area modifications and drilling
- If unsure about compatibility with your specific E60 / E61 variant or year, contact our team with your year, model, chassis code, and trim level before ordering
Warranty:
- 12-month standard warranty from date of purchase
- Contact our support team for assistance with any issues
K2 Industries & OUR OWN FAQ's
How do I check fitment?
Check the listing for your year, make, model, trim and engine. Body style, build date and factory options can matter. If the listing is unclear, send FI Performance your vehicle details and the product link or SKU before ordering.
What comes with this part?
Check the product description for quantities, hardware and accessories. Photos may show the part installed with other components. Ask us if you need to confirm whether a part is sold individually, as a pair or as a kit.
Will I need extra parts or modifications?
That depends on the part and your setup. Check for adapters, wiring, coding, tuning, trimming or additional hardware before booking installation. If you already have aftermarket parts, tell us what’s installed.
What should I check for headlights or tail lights?
Match your factory lighting type, connector and body style. Halogen, HID and LED assemblies can differ even on the same model. Check pre-facelift versus facelift fitment and features such as adaptive lights or leveling.
Should I have a shop install it?
We recommend a qualified installer for wiring, engine, brake and suspension work. Inspect the part and confirm fitment before cutting, drilling, painting or modifying anything.
When will my order ship?
Availability and lead time vary by item. If you’re working around a shop appointment or event, contact FI Performance for a current estimate before ordering.
