Carbon with Conviction: Upgrading the G90 M5 with Alpha-N's Vented Carbon Hood at AUTOcouture

In performance engineering, form and function are not mutually exclusive—they are inseparable. The new Alpha‑N Carbon Vented Hood for the BMW G90/G99 M5 is a clear testament to this principle. Crafted entirely from pre‑preg carbon fiber and reinforced with integrated skeletal bracing, this hood is designed not merely to enhance aesthetics, but to elevate thermal efficiency and structural integrity—without unnecessary weight.

We recently received the first Alpha‑N hood destined for U.S. roads. Our team at AUTOcouture installed it on a G90 M5, a G‑series flagship blending V8 aggression with hybrid refinement. The fitment was precise—OEM-level alignment with no trimming required, honoring Alpha‑N’s exacting standards.

Alpha‑N drew inspiration from BMW’s own M4 GT3, upgrading the vent architecture with larger, strategically placed outlets—a direct nod to track‑bred thermals.The result: improved airflow through the engine bay, reduced heat soak, and better front-end stability at speed. The placement and sizing aren’t just for show—they meet thermal demands with high-level engineering rationale.

At just under 4 kg, this hood shaves considerable weight from the stock unit. But it doesn’t compromise rigidity—no fiberglass fillers, no excess resin layers—just carbon purity and purposeful design. This is value realized in grams of torque retention. 

This hood transforms the M5 from a vehicle of raw capability into one of measured excellence. It’s a tool sharpened by function, not fashion. Experience it at AUTOcouture Motoring: craftsmanship, installation, and engineering all executed with disciplined precision.
