Why enthusiasts choose this upgrade

We run this K&N panel on our own builds and customer X3s, and feedback is consistently positive. Owners report a sharper pedal feel, a subtle induction note and the convenience of a lifetime serviceable filter. It is a cost-effective alternative to disposable paper elements and a smart step for anyone considering an induction kit but wanting to keep the stock airbox layout.

Install and care

Fitting is a quick swap of the standard paper element for the K&N insert. No remap, cutting or extra hardware required. Maintain with a K&N cleaning kit when needed, then re-oil and refit. Enjoy long service intervals based on usage and conditions.
