BMC Performance High-Flow Panel Air Filter for BMW 1 Series 135i E82 E88 Coupe/Convertible (2007-2010) N54 - Washable Reusable Drop-In OEM Replacement

BMW 135i E82 E88 Performance Intake Panel Filter Upgrade

Let your twin turbo straight six breathe properly. This premium cotton panel element is a simple, high quality upgrade for anyone who wants sharper pedal response, a deeper induction note and dependable filtration while keeping the factory air box in place. It replaces the standard paper element on the 135i coupe and cabriolet from 2007 to 2010, delivering smooth airflow for daily driving and spirited road use.

Key reasons enthusiasts choose this upgrade

• Improved airflow versus paper media while maintaining fine particle capture
• Direct fit for the stock airbox on 1 Series 135i E82 coupe and E88 convertible
• Reusable cotton gauze construction for long term savings and easy servicing
• Crisper throttle feel and a richer intake tone under load
• No mapping required and no warning lights
• Keeps the original under-bonnet look

Engineering you can trust

Built with multiple layers of cotton gauze lightly oiled and supported by an epoxy coated aluminium mesh, this performance panel is designed to promote consistent, low restriction airflow while protecting your engine from dust and debris. A single piece flexible rubber frame ensures a precise seal in the air box to minimise leaks and maintain stable performance.
