GT Premi is partially right. The M5 only has the two ducts there (where foglights would be on an M Tech kit) but the ducts are used to cool the brakes as well as provide air to the intake. About 10 inches into the funnel, there's a hole on top that has a tubing directed towards the airbox. RPI actually sells a block-off plate that closes air flow from this inlet since their ram air scoops provide enough pressurized air from the front grill.

Thanks! I knew I wasn't crazy! So there aren't 4 openings, but the ducts still route air to the engine.
