Heads-up on cancellations & returns: if you cancel an order or return an item, you won't get back 100% of what you paid. We apply a 10% restocking fee, the outbound shipping is non-refundable, and we have to pass on Shopify / PayPal payment processing fees; these aren't returned to us when we refund you. International orders also lose on exchange-rate spread in both directions. If the original packaging is damaged or missing, a reboxing charge applies. For international orders specifically, if you refuse to pay our shipping invoice or supply a prepaid label after placing the order, the same deductions apply. We're upfront about this — please be sure of your purchase before ordering.

K&N 33-2970 Panel Filter Upgrade for BMW 3.0 Petrol - Direct Fit, Reusable, Performance Focused

Give your BMW a simple, worthwhile breathing upgrade with the K&N 33-2970 cotton gauze panel insert. This direct-fit, serviceable filter drops straight into the factory airbox on select 5 Series and 7 Series 3.0 petrol models, improving intake efficiency while maintaining excellent engine protection. It is a smart alternative to disposable paper elements and a popular choice for owners who want a subtle performance enhancement without remaps or modifications.

We have installed this unit in-house at MJ Modifications and for many customers. Feedback has been consistently strong, with noticeably crisper throttle response and a smooth pull through the rev range. If you are searching for a lifetime air filter for BMW, a reusable panel insert for F10 or F01, or a premium cotton media filter for 3.0 petrol models, this is the upgrade enthusiasts ask for.

Key Advantages

  • Free-flowing cotton media for improved induction efficiency and sharper response
  • Washable and reusable design for long-term savings and reduced waste
  • OE-style fitment for the stock airbox, no tuning or cutting required
  • Robust construction and dependable filtration for daily road use
