Washable Sports Panel Filter Insert for BMW 530d E60 and E61 2003 to 2010

Give your 3.0d the lungs it deserves with this Pipercross performance panel element. It is a direct-fit replacement for the standard paper insert, dropping straight into the factory air box on the BMW 5 Series 530d saloon and touring. Expect stronger, more consistent airflow, superb filtration and a filter you can clean and reuse for the lifetime of the vehicle.

Why this upgrade is a favourite on the 530d

• Direct-fit insert for the original air box on E60 and E61 530d, no cutting or extra parts required
• Higher airflow than disposable paper media for improved breathing and response
• Proven on the bench for gains in efficiency, torque delivery and drivability
• Serviceable foam construction reduces waste and long term running costs
• Longer service intervals compared with cotton gauze alternatives
• Lifetime warranty for road use from Pipercross
• Hand built in the UK for quality you can trust

Triple-layer reticulated foam that keeps flowing

Pipercross uses a multi-density foam matrix designed to trap debris through the depth of the material rather than just on the surface. The result is excellent dust holding capacity and stable airflow over time, helping the M57 turbo diesel breathe freely while maintaining robust engine protection in all weather.

• Outer layer catches larger particles to prevent clogging
• Mid layer captures the bulk of road contaminants
• Inner layer filters the finest particles for peace of mind

What you will notice

Sharper throttle response, smoother pull through the revs and a subtle uptick in induction tone, with the bonus of washable convenience. Many owners pair this intake upgrade with a remap or intercooler for a well-rounded, road-friendly setup.

Fitment

Suitable for BMW 5 Series 530d E60 saloon and E61 touring models from 2003 to 2010 using the standard air box. If you would like us to confirm compatibility with your registration or VIN, get in touch and we will be happy to help.

Easy maintenance

Remove, clean, refit. No complicated steps and no wire grooves to trap dirt. The foam media’s high dust capacity supports extended service intervals and consistent airflow between cleans.
