MMR Performance Cotton Gauze Panel Air Filter for MINI Cooper S & JCW B48 2.0T (F56 F55 F54 Clubman) 2013–2021 – High‑Flow Washable Reusable Drop‑In Intake/Induction Filter for OEM Airbox – Pre‑LCI Replacement

MMR Cotton Gauze Panel Filter for MINI F56 F55 F54 B48 Pre‑Facelift

Give your turbocharged MINI the breathing it deserves with this free‑flowing cotton gauze panel element from MMR. It replaces the stock paper insert inside the factory air box on B48 petrol models, unlocking sharper throttle response, a crisper induction note and real‑world gains through reduced intake restriction. It is a simple, serviceable upgrade that looks OEM while performing far better.

Why enthusiasts choose it

• Direct replacement for the standard air box element. No mapping required
• Low restriction cotton media increases airflow for better response and drivability
• Reusable and cleanable for long‑term value. Ditch disposable paper filters
• Quality construction and precise fitment for a factory‑style install
• Enhanced intake sound under load without any cabin drone
• Back‑to‑back testing on a stock B48 has shown up to 15 Nm torque improvement
