The panel air filter is commonly referred to as "replacement air filter". It is installed in the vehicle's original airbox to replace the OEM air filter. It is made of highly performing materials that allow an increased air flow combined with a more efficient filtration, guaranteeing containment of all impurities from as small as 7 microns (compared to OEM's 10 microns). BMC air filters are produced using a "Full Moulding" system that enables the characteristic red filter to be realized from a single mould with no welded joints thus avoiding easy breakage. The rubber used in BMC air filtering systems has a long life, is very durable and has optimum adhesion characteristics to all shapes of airboxes. BMC filters are made of a multi-layered cotton gauze soaked with low viscosity oil covered with an epoxy coated alloy mesh to ensure

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this BMC product fit my 2011-2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
That application is listed by BMC. Confirm the complete year, make, model, factory airbox, dimensions, quantity, and every application note because some vehicles use different filters within the same model year.
Does this replace the factory paper air filter?
Yes, when the exact application and dimensions match, this panel filter installs in the original airbox in place of the factory filter. Confirm shape, dimensions, and quantity before ordering.
Can this BMC filter be cleaned and reused?
BMC cotton-gauze panel filters are washable and reusable. Follow BMC's current cleaning and re-oiling procedure, allow the filter to dry fully, and do not over-oil it.
Installation Instructions
Follow BMC's current instructions for this exact part number. Confirm fitment and dimensions before disassembly, keep dirt out of the intake tract, seat every filter and connection evenly, tighten hardware to the specified value, and inspect the installation before operating the vehicle.

Shop drop-in air filters for routine replacement or a reusable-filter upgrade while keeping the existing airbox at Black Ops Auto Works.

Match the vehicle’s engine and actual airbox, including applications that use a filter pair.For an aftermarket airbox, choose the replacement expressly specified for that system. Factory-airbox coverage and a replacement for a named performance intake are separate selection paths, even when both products are described as replacement filters.Choose Media Around Your Mainten...

BMC
Choose BMC filtration for the intake setup you want to keep or build. A washable replacement element retains the compatible factory airbox, while CDA, OTA and DIA systems offer different enclosed-intake layouts. Single Air and Twin Air conical filters, hoses, adapters and regeneration supplies support custom installations and ongoing filter care. BMC Replacement Air Filters BMC replacement elements use washable, oiled cotton media and come in application-specific panel and cylindrical shapes. Choose this route when you want a reusable filter for the original airbox. Compare the exact engine application and filter count: a single element and a multi-filter package supply different service quantities. A replacement element does not promise a particular horsepower gain. BMC Airboxes and Universal Intake Components The BMC range includes Carbon Dynamic Airbox (CDA), Oval Trumpet Airbox (OTA) and Direct Intake Airsystem (DIA) designs. Universal versions require careful planning of mounti...
