The E36 M3 Eventuri Intake has been meticulously developed to optimize airflow efficiency while maintaining low intake temperatures. Central to the design is our patented Venturi housing, which integrates directly with the MAF tube. This integration removes unnecessary junctions and establishes a continuous, laminar flow path from the filter to the M3’s intake plenum.

Where conventional cuboid airboxes and generic aftermarket systems generate turbulence and pressure losses, the Eventuri system maintains consistent velocity and pressure, maximizing volumetric efficiency. Intake temperatures are stabilized through thermal shielding and direct alignment with the OEM cold air feed.

The outcome is a marked improvement in throttle response and mid-range torque, along with sustained power delivery across the rev band—achieving performance gains without compromising drivability.

The Eventuri Difference

The E36 M3 Eventuri system uses our Patented Carbon fiber Housing which provides an aerodynamically efficient airflow path from the filter to the engine. Not just another cone filter with a heat shield but a unique design which invokes the Venturi affect and maintains laminar flow conditions to reduce the drag on the engine.

Each intake system consists of:

Carbon Fiber Venturi Housing with Integrated MAF Tube
Bespoke High Flow Generation 2 Filters
Aluminium Inlet Cowl
CNC Machined Hardware and Stainless Steel Brackets
Breather Filter Set

The filter housing comprises of our bespoke generation 2 filter, aluminium inlet cowl, the carbon pod with shielding and integrated MAF tube. The carbon pod shrouds the reverse mounted filter and smoothly shapes the airflow down to the plenum. This is a key feature of the intake design where we have removed the tortuous flow path of the OEM airbox and therefore reduced the pressure loss through the whole system. The MAF sensor connection has been relocated to be less visually obtrusive but still functions in the same parameters as the OEM system. Finally the housing has heat shielding around the filter opening to prevent heated engine bay air from entering the filter and therefore keeping IATs controlled.
