Unlock effortless breathing for your 2.0 diesel 5 Series with this UK-made Pipercross foam intake element.

Washable and reusable, it is a smart upgrade for daily drivers and enthusiasts who want real-world gains without cutting or mapping.

Reasons enthusiasts choose this upgrade

• Direct-fit replacement for BMW 520d E60 saloon and E61 touring 2005 - 2007
• Flowbench tested to move substantially more air than a disposable paper element
• Noticeably sharper response, with stronger mid-range pull and refined induction tone
• Clean, refit, repeat - a serviceable filter that pays for itself over time
• Three-stage reticulated foam layers capture fine particles while keeping restriction low
• Maintains performance longer than cotton gauze and cellulose alternatives
• Backed by a lifetime road-use guarantee from the manufacturer
• Hand built in Britain

How the multi-layer foam works

This performance element uses progressively layered foam: a coarse outer skin for larger debris, a denser mid-layer for the bulk of contaminants, and a fine inner layer to safeguard the engine. The result is excellent dirt holding capacity with consistently low pressure drop, so the car keeps breathing freely between services.

What you will feel on the road

• Quicker pedal response and more eager acceleration
• Potential improvements in torque delivery and fuel efficiency thanks to reduced restriction
• Subtly richer intake sound while retaining the stock airbox and factory look
• No coding or ECU changes required

We run these foam panels on our own cars and feedback from MJ Modifications customers has been consistently positive for drivability and long-term value.
