aFe Power Pro 5R Magnum FLOW Drop-In Panel Engine Air Filter for BMW N54 (E82/E88 135i, E90/E92/E93 335i/335is/335xi, E60 535i, E82 1M, E89 Z4 35i) – Washable Reusable OE Airbox Replacement, High-Flow Oiled Cotton | 30-10156

BMW N54 performance panel filter by aFe Pro 5R, direct-fit airbox upgrade | Part No. 30-10156

Give your twin turbo straight six the airflow it deserves with a premium, serviceable panel element that fits the factory airbox and delivers real gains. This aFe Pro 5R cotton gauze filter is a simple swap for the standard paper element and is engineered to outflow the OE filter by up to 31 percent, helping sharpen throttle response and support power on BMW 1M, 135i, 335i, 535i and Z4 35i models that use the N54 engine.

The five layer oiled cotton media provides maximum intake flow while maintaining excellent dust capture, independently tested at 98.6 percent filtration efficiency. Open pleat geometry increases surface area for stronger dirt holding and longer service intervals. A robust polyurethane frame with a pliable perimeter seal ensures a consistent, leak free fit inside the original airbox, no extra gaskets required.

Why this aFe Pro 5R panel element is a top choice

• Up to 31 percent more airflow than the stock paper insert for improved response and torque feel
• Five ply oiled cotton gauze media balances high flow with excellent engine protection, tested at 98.6 percent efficiency
• Open pleats increase surface area for greater dust capacity and longer cleaning intervals
• Moulded polyurethane frame with integrated bump seal for an OE style, leak free fit
• Washable and reusable for long term value, multiple cleaning cycles
• Backed by aFe Power limited lifetime warranty

We have installed this filter on many customer N54 builds and the feedback is consistently positive. Owners report a quality fit, crisper pedal response and a more purposeful induction note while keeping the reliability of the stock airbox.
