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.

BMW Diesel Performance Panel Filter - Part No. 33-3042

Give your 2.0d BMW a simple intake upgrade with this cotton gauze panel element. Part number 33-3042 is a factory-size insert that slides into the standard airbox on selected F10 5 Series 520d, F25 X3 20d and F15 X5 25d models, helping the engine breathe more freely while maintaining excellent filtration. Cleanable and reusable, it replaces disposable paper elements for long-term value and crisp throttle response, all with no remap required.

We run this filter on our own builds and customer cars at MJ Modifications and the feedback has been consistently strong. Expect a keener pedal, a subtle induction note and the convenience of a serviceable intake filter you can refresh instead of replace.

  • Part number: 33-3042
  • Direct-fit panel insert - same dimensions as the stock element
  • Cotton media for improved airflow compared with typical paper filters
  • Cleanable, reusable and designed for long service life
  • Works with the standard airbox and factory calibration
  • Engine protection with high-quality filtration
  • Ideal upgrade for everyday driving and enthusiast use
