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 1993-2004 Alpina B10?

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.
