Pipercross Performance Panel Air Filter for BMW 5 Series F10/F11/F18 All Diesel (09/2011-on) - High Flow, Washable, Direct OEM Airbox Replacement, Lifetime Warranty

BMW 5 Series F10 F11 F18 Diesel Intake Filter Upgrade by Pipercross

Transform the way your 5 Series breathes with a premium reusable foam intake element from Pipercross. This direct-fit, drop-in filter slides into the factory air box on BMW F10, F11 and F18 diesel models from 09/2011 onwards, unlocking freer airflow, dependable filtration and long-term value without any permanent changes to your car.

Why choose this upgrade

• Simple swap for the stock paper element with a precise OEM-style fit
• Up to 30 percent increase in intake flow compared with a standard paper insert for snappier response
• Triple-layer foam media delivers excellent dust holding capacity and consistent protection
• Cleanable and reusable for the life of the vehicle which saves money and reduces waste
• Longer service intervals than many cotton gauze filters thanks to superior dirt retention
• Tested for improvements in throttle response, drivability and smooth torque delivery
• Covered by a lifetime guarantee for road use
• Proudly manufactured in Britain for quality and consistency

Foam technology that keeps flowing

Pipercross uses progressive, open-cell foam in three stages to capture particles of varying sizes while keeping restriction low. A coarse outer layer intercepts larger debris, the middle layer handles the bulk of contaminants and a fine inner layer traps the remaining particulates before they reach the engine. The result is strong, sustained airflow and reliable protection for your turbocharger and MAF sensor in real-world UK driving conditions.

Compatibility

Designed to fit BMW 5 Series diesel models on the F10 saloon, F11 touring and F18 long-wheelbase platforms from September 2011 onward, using the original air box. This is a quick, reversible intake upgrade that pairs perfectly with stock or lightly tuned vehicles.
