Pipercross Washable Panel Air Filter for BMW X3 E83 3.0d/3.0 Diesel (M57) 2003-2006 – High-Flow Reusable Foam Intake, Drop-In OEM Airbox Replacement Performance Upgrade, UK Made, Lifetime Warranty

Performance Foam Intake Filter Upgrade for BMW X3 E83 3.0 d 12/2003 to 08/2006

Give your BMW X3 the breathing it deserves with a British‑built Pipercross foam intake element designed to replace the standard insert in the factory air box. Expect sharper throttle response, smoother torque delivery and outstanding engine protection, all while saving money over time thanks to a washable, reusable design.

Why this upgrade works

• Up to 30 percent more air delivery versus a typical paper element for stronger performance
• Sustained flow that resists restriction as miles build up, ideal for daily driving and spirited use
• Triple‑layer foam construction captures fine contaminants while maintaining excellent airflow
• Direct drop‑in for the OEM housing on X3 E83 3.0 d models, no modification required
• Extended service intervals compared with many cotton gauze alternatives
• Washable and reusable for long‑term value and reduced waste
• Made in Britain with a lifetime road‑use guarantee

Advanced foam technology

Pipercross uses a progressive three‑stage foam matrix that filters out debris in layers. A coarse outer skin arrests larger particles, a denser middle layer handles the majority of contaminants and a fine inner layer protects the engine from the smallest particulates. The result is superb filtration without the pressure drop associated with many pleated paper or cotton inserts.

Compatibility

• BMW X3 E83 3.0 d diesel
• Build years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006
• Fits the stock air box as a straight swap for the original filter element

Maintenance made simple

Clean, refit, drive. The serviceable foam media is quick to wash and reuse, helping maintain consistent intake flow and reduce long‑term running costs. No awkward pleats or wire mesh to trap dirt.
