Foam technology that keeps airflow strong

The multi-density polyurethane foam matrix captures debris in stages. Coarser outer foam stops larger particles, the mid layer handles everyday contaminants and the fine inner layer tidies up the remaining micro-particles. Because the dirt is held throughout the depth of the material rather than on the surface, airflow stays consistent for longer than with thin paper or cotton gauze alternatives.

Vehicle fitment

For BMW X5 E70 M50d models from August 2011 to end of E70 production using the original air box. If you need help confirming compatibility, contact our team and we will advise before you order.
