Product description

The Karbonius Carbon Snorkel for BMW M3 E46 is the perfect complement to maximize intake performance in configurations equipped with the Karbonius CSL Airbox or CSL bumper-compatible intake systems.

Designed as a replica of the original duct, this snorkel channels fresh air from the front of the vehicle directly to the intake, reducing the entry of hot air from the engine bay and improving the efficiency of the intake system.

Manufactured entirely from pre-impregnated carbon fiber (prepreg) and cured in a mold and autoclave oven, it offers an exceptional combination of lightness, strength, and thermal stability. With an approximate weight of only 350 grams, it constitutes an ideal functional and aesthetic upgrade for BMW M3 E46 owners equipped with a CSL intake.

Each unit is manufactured in our facilities in A Coruña (Spain) under ISO 9001 quality standards and by highly specialized personnel. The result is a high-quality part, with excellent dimensional precision and an impeccable exposed carbon finish.

Like all Karbonius products, each snorkel is individually numbered and includes a certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing its origin and exclusivity.

  • Machined from black anodized aluminum
