Triple-layer foam that keeps air moving

Pipercross uses a progressive three-stage foam media for high dust holding capacity and sustained flow. A coarse outer layer captures larger debris, a medium middle layer handles the bulk of contaminants and a fine inner layer deals with the smallest particles. The result is excellent filtration with reduced restriction in real-world conditions, making it a smart intake enhancement for daily driving and spirited use alike.

Manufactured by hand in Northamptonshire, this filter delivers consistent fit and performance. Proudly made in Britain to rigorous standards for your BMW 5 Series.
