K&N 06-07 BMW M5 5.0L Flat Black Typhoon Short Ram Intake

If you're looking to get more out of your 2006 or 2007 BMW M5's 5.0L V8, a K&N Typhoon Short Ram Intake is a solid way to improve its breathing. This system is designed to replace your restrictive factory airbox and intake tubing with a smoother, more direct path for air to reach the engine. The result is a noticeable improvement in both horsepower and torque, giving your M5 a more responsive feel.

The heart of this system is K&N's signature High-Flow Air Filter, made with oiled cotton gauze media. This filter is washable and reusable, meaning you can clean it and reinstall it for years of service – K&N even backs it with a Million Mile Limited Warranty. The intake tube itself is made from mandrel-bent aluminum, which ensures consistent airflow and durability. A custom-designed heat shield is included to help block hot air from the engine bay, ensuring that the engine gets as much cool, dense air as possible. This helps maintain the performance gains you'd expect from a cold air intake.

Installation is typically straightforward and can often be completed in under 90 minutes with basic tools. While this intake is designed to improve your M5's performance, please note that it is not street legal in California due to emissions regulations. If you're looking for a way to uncork some extra power from your M5 and enjoy a more aggressive engine note, this K&N Typhoon intake is a well-built option.
