• Bench tested for gains in drivability, torque and fuel efficiency
• Long service intervals and higher dust holding than cotton media

Proven foam technology

Pipercross uses a progressive, triple-layer reticulated foam that maintains airflow as it loads with debris, helping your turbo diesel breathe consistently in real-world conditions. The staged foam stack captures particles efficiently while keeping resistance low:

• Outer coarse layer catches larger dirt
• Middle layer traps the bulk of contaminants
• Inner fine layer stops the smallest particles

The result is strong, repeatable performance and reliable filtration for everyday road use, towing or long motorway runs.

Fitment

• BMW X5 F15 xDrive30d
• BMW X5 F15 xDrive40d
• Applicable F85 platform listings for 30d and 40d variants
• Model years 2012 onward

Maintenance

This reusable panel element is designed for simple servicing. Wash, dry and re-oil as required, then refit. It is a cost-effective, eco-friendly upgrade that reduces waste compared with single-use paper filters and lasts far longer than many cotton alternatives.
