Let your BMW X3 breathe better with a UK-made foam panel insert

Give your 2.0 diesel X3 a simple intake improvement with this Pipercross foam filter element. It slots straight into the standard filter housing on BMW X3 E83 2.0 diesel models built 2004 to 2007, delivering stronger airflow, dependable engine protection and a serviceable design you can clean and refit whenever required.

Why this foam panel makes a difference

• Direct-fit replacement for the paper element in the factory air box, no cutting or drilling
• Freer breathing for sharper throttle response and smooth mid-range pull
• Independently bench tested airflow gains versus disposable paper media
• Triple-layer foam holds more dirt than cotton, so performance stays consistent for longer
• Clean and reuse, save money over repeated paper filter changes
• Lifetime warranty for road use from Pipercross
• Environmentally friendly long-life construction

Advanced multi-layer foam construction

Pipercross uses a progressive density foam stack to balance flow and filtration. Coarse outer foam arrests larger debris, a mid layer captures the bulk of contaminants, and a fine inner layer protects the engine from the smallest particulates. With no V-wire grooves to clog, airflow remains stable, helping the turbo diesel breathe freely on daily drives and long trips alike.
