Give your E39 M5 breathing performance it deserves with the ITG Profilter panel element. This cleanable, serviceable foam intake filter is a direct replacement for the factory paper element, fitting straight into the original air box for an instant induction refresh. Expect crisp throttle response, strong airflow and outstanding engine protection thanks to ITG’s proven tri-foam construction.

Key advantages

• Tri-foam technology for superb dust capture and outstanding engine safety, even in harsh conditions.
• Low restriction design that helps your S62 V8 breathe freely for sharper response and consistent performance.
• Reusable and cleanable, a long-life alternative to disposable paper elements that helps reduce service waste and running costs.
• Direct replacement panel element that drops into the OE airbox, a smart intake upgrade without the drama of a full induction kit.
• Motorsport know-how brought to the road, ideal for spirited driving and track days.

What makes ITG different

Unlike pleated paper filters, ITG’s multi-layer foam with carefully selected pore sizes and filter oil traps fine particles while maintaining excellent airflow. Pressure drop stays very low, so performance is sustained even as the element loads with dirt. It is a proven, race-bred solution that delivers reliability and longevity for your S62-powered M5.

Compatibility

Designed for BMW M5 E39 with the 4.9 litre S62B49 V8, model years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. Fits the factory air box as a direct replacement panel element.
