BMW M5 E60 E61 5.0 V10 S85 Pipercross Sports Panel Filter

Unlock sharper throttle response and let your naturally aspirated V10 breathe with this British built Pipercross panel element. It drops straight into the factory air box on the M5 E60 and E61, replacing the restrictive paper insert with a high flow foam core that is washable and fully reusable. Expect smoother revs, crisp induction, and dependable filtration without the throwaway waste of a standard filter.

Why this intake upgrade is a no brainer

• Direct fit to the stock air box on BMW M5 E60 and E61 from September 2004
• Up to 30 percent higher airflow compared with a disposable paper filter
• Bench tested for improvements in drivability, torque delivery and fuel economy
• Service life outlasts typical cotton gauze designs before cleaning is required
• Cleans easily and resists clogging so performance stays consistent
• Lifetime road-use guarantee for long term peace of mind
• Hand finished in Northamptonshire, UK

Triple layer foam for performance and protection

Pipercross uses a multi density foam matrix to capture contaminants while maintaining strong flow to the S85 engine. The three stage construction works progressively to keep your intake clear:

• Coarse outer layer stops larger debris
• Intermediate layer holds the bulk of airborne dirt
• Fine inner layer secures the smallest particles

This progressive filtration keeps airflow stable for longer than thin paper or cotton media, helping your V10 maintain peak performance in real world conditions.

Fitment and compatibility

Designed for BMW 5 Series M5 E60 Saloon and E61 Touring with the 5.0 litre S85 V10 from 09/2004 onward. Installs as a straight swap for the OE panel in the original air box. No cutting or additional parts required.

Proven by enthusiasts

We have fitted and run Pipercross foam filters on customer cars and our own builds and the feedback has been consistently positive. Owners report sharper response, a subtle lift in induction character and the convenience of a cleanable, long term solution that protects the engine and saves money over time.
