BMW 118d E81 E87 2004-2012 BMC Drop-In Cotton Filter Upgrade

Give your diesel 118d the intake refresh it deserves with a BMC drop-in sports filter. This direct-fit cotton gauze insert slides straight into the factory airbox on E81 and E87 models, improving intake efficiency and helping the turbo breathe more freely for a crisper, more responsive drive.

Crafted with multi-layer oiled cotton media, an epoxy-coated support mesh and a one-piece moulded sealing rim, this reusable element is built for strong airflow, robust filtration and long service life. Swap out disposable paper elements and move to a serviceable filter you can clean and re-oil for lasting performance and value.
