Description
OVERVIEW
Modern turbocharged performance vehicles are able to push the envelope harder than ever before! The one thing that can slow them down is heat. The Verus Engineering Carbon Hood Louver Kit for G80/G82 BMW M3/M4 helps reduce engine bay heat and pressure. The louver improves cooling stack efficiency, under-hood component longevity, and adds a bump in the front-end downforce by alleviating air pressure in the engine bay.
Using scan data, we developed the hood louver to have an OEM-type fit and finish to the hood's contour. We took special care to ensure the louver was placed in an area that removed *minimal* under-hood structure as well as in an area of low pressure for maximum evacuation. The Hood Louvers are also designed to enhance the function of the factory grilles, making them ideal for anyone looking to add a more aggressive finish to their G-Series M3/M4 that keeps things cool, mile after mile.
Through CFD and on-track data, we found the louvers to work very well on the car, dramatically reducing under-hood temperatures and improving aero balance. These are a must-have product for anyone looking to separate their G-Series M3/M4 from the crowd in form and function.

Science:
Utilizing modern CFD, we located a hood position of low pressure to maximize under-hood evacuation and a louver design that encourages evacuation as well. Relieving this under-hood pressure increases front-end downforce, as the pressure pushing up on the hood is no longer present. Evacuating this hot engine bay airflow also improves cooling stack efficiency and can increase part longevity for components that are heat-sensitive. Adding the louver is a great way to increase front-end grip and reduce under-hood temperatures on track.
Why go with a genuine Verus product?
The G-Series BMW has been nothing but great for us, and we sincerely thank you and the rest of the community for the support.
Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that our BMW products are being heavily copied. This is to be expected when you are one of the best in the business. The real issue lies with the fact that these counterfeits are shamelessly using our name and our logo.
Verus Engineering has no affiliation with these manufacturers, and ALL of the work that we ship out is designed and manufactured internally and locally here in Indianapolis, IN.
