High-Performance Panel Filter for Classic BMW Platforms

The BMC Air Filter FB117/01 is engineered as a drop-in panel filter for a broad lineup of classic BMWs. Its Full-Moulding red rubber frame and multi-layer oiled cotton gauze media (with epoxy-coated mesh) increase intake efficiency, while filtering down to ~7 µm. Reusable, serviceable, and designed to drop into the factory airbox with zero cutting or tuning.

Why Choose the BMC FB117/01 Air Filter?

  • Improved Airflow & Fine Filtration: High volume intake while capturing particles ~7 µm (vs ~10 µm from standard paper).
  • Washable & Reusable: Comes pre-oiled and can be regenerated using the BMC kit.
  • Full-Moulded Design: One-piece red rubber frame ensures durability and excellent sealing.
  • OEM Drop-In Fitment: No trimming or tuning required — designed for direct replacement.
  • Built to Last: Epoxy-coated alloy mesh protects media from fuel vapors and oxidation.
