BMW X3M & X4M LCI Carbon Vents, Inlets & Duct Trims
5 products
These X3M LCI vents put pre-preg carbon on the air openings of the facelifted X3M and X4M, front, side and rear. The front bumper pieces are listed for both cars, while the front side vent and the rear side vent trim are for the X3M only.
How they fit varies: the duct trims stick on with 3M tape, and the SOOQOO air inlets need the front bumper removed.
BMW X3M & X4M LCI Carbon Vents, Inlets & Duct Trims buying guide
Front bumper: duct trims, air vent or air inlets
BMW redesigned the front bumper for the facelift, with a flatter, wider center intake and tall side intakes that angle down toward the lip. The bumper pieces here are all listed for LCI cars, and they differ mainly in how much work the fit takes.
- Air duct trims: stick-on overlays for the lower ducts (3 pieces), the side vents (2 pieces) or both as a 5-piece set, with no permanent changes to the car.
- SOOQOO air inlets: developed with 3D scanning and fixed to the factory mounting points, but the bumper has to come off, so plan on a shop.
- SQ-style front air vent: pre-preg dry carbon intakes listed for 2023-on LCI cars. The listing doesn't say how they mount, and a 2022 owner should check with us first.
Fender and rear vents for the X3M
The SQ-style front side vent is for the vent on the front fender, the air breather where BMW places the M gills. It's listed for the X3 M LCI only, and its listing is brief, so ask us about mounting, or about an X4 M, before you order. At the back, the rear side vent trim is a set of pre-preg canards for the X3 M LCI's rear bumper, protected by a UV-resistant PU clear coat.
Test-fit each piece before you install it. If a part doesn't fit the car named on its product page, contact us before installing and we cover the return shipping for a refund or replacement. To carry the carbon down to the bumper's lower edge, see the X3M/X4M LCI front lips.
Frequently asked questions
Which X3M LCI vent trims also fit the X4M LCI?
The front bumper pieces do: the SOOQOO air inlets, the SQ-style front air vent and the air duct trims are listed for both the X3 M and X4 M LCI. The SQ-style front side vent and the rear side vent trim are listed for the X3 M LCI only, so X4 M owners should ask us before ordering those.
Can I fit the air duct trims without taking the bumper off?
Yes. They are a stick-on part that needs no permanent changes, so the bumper stays on. The SOOQOO air inlets are different: they attach to the factory mounting points, but only after the front bumper is removed, which makes them a job for a shop.
Does the SQ-style front air vent fit a 2022 X3M?
Its listing names 2023-on X3 M and X4 M LCI cars, while the other LCI vent pieces start at 2022. If your car is a 2022 model, text a photo of the front bumper to 609-525-4865 and we'll confirm the fit before you order.
I have a pre-LCI X3M. Will these vents fit?
The front bumper pieces won't, because BMW reshaped the bumper for the facelift. For a pre-LCI car, the OEM-style and SQ-style front side vents and the fender vents are on the pre-LCI vent trims page.
