Reusable High-Flow Panel Filter for BMW 520d E60 E61 2.0d 2005 to 08/2007

Give your 5 Series diesel the breath of fresh air it deserves. This serviceable cotton gauze panel element is a straight swap for the factory paper insert on BMW 520d E60 Saloon and E61 Touring models up to the 08/2007 pre-facelift. Engineered for freer breathing and crisp throttle response, it keeps filtration efficiency high while letting the 2.0d intake system flow more air for smoother acceleration and strong mid-range pull.

Looking for a BMW 520d intake upgrade, reusable panel insert for E60 or E61, lifetime cotton filter for 2.0 diesel, or a washable airbox filter for BMW 5-Series 520 d. This ticks every box. It fits the standard airbox, needs no cutting and no ECU calibration, and is backed by a million-mile limited warranty for long-term peace of mind.
