Since 1999, aFe (Advanced FLOW Engineering) has been developing and manufacturing high quality accessories in their facility in Corona, California. Starting with air filters and intake systems, and now expanding into exhaust systems, suspension components, tuning modules, and more, aFe products are a great way to improve the performance of your BMW without altering its fundamental character. Owned by a BMW enthusiast, aFe power is recognized the world over as a leader in quality performance products for your BMW.
This is a drop-in stock replacement aFe performance air filter that installs into your BMW's factory airbox. This particular filter fits the following BMWs:
E30 M3 (1988-1991)
E30 318i (1984-1985)
E28 528e (1984-1985) and 535i/535is (1985-1988)
E12 5 series, All (1975-1981) - including 528i, 530i, 533i
E23 7 series, All except 745i (1977-1987) - including 730i, 733i, 735i, L7
E24 6 series, All except M6 (1976-1989) - incl. 630CS, 633Csi, 635CSi
This version uses aFe's highest flowing filter media, which uses a lightly oil gauze to filter out dirt and particulates, while allowing more air to flow to the intake. For the best flowing filter, with the best performance gain, we always recommend this standard aFe filter media (often called "Pro5R ", which has a blue pre-oiled filter media). We also carry this filter in the "ProDry" grey filter media, which is oil-free for only slightly less performance and no maintenance.
Stainless steel filtration is not a new technology but is quickly gaining popularity in the automotive segment. With the ability to filter down as small as a paper filter element with the ability to be washed and reused!
The K&P Engineering filter element is made from medical grade, type 304 stainless steel micronic filter cloth to provide unmatched protection against oil contamination and resultant engine damage. A one inch square of this material flows an incredible 1.9 gallons of oil per minute at only 1 PSI pump pressure. The adhesive used in the filter assembly process is good to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, far above normal engine operating temperatures. A super strength nickel-plated neodymium rare earth magnet is installed in the top of the element for magnetic pre-filtering of the oil. The sophisticated bypass is engineered for proper differential pressures and consistent operation, delivering a greater percentage of filtered oil while being very easy to clean. The twist lock design assures positive filter element placement and allows for easy disassembly, inspection, and cleaning. The quad-ring gasket doubles the seal between the filter and the engine. Finally, the filter housing is carved out of solid 6061T6 billet aluminum, which not only looks trick but aids in dissipating heat.
K&P Engineering manufactures stainless steel filters for a vast array of engines around the world. Staying at the forefront of design and testing allows this company to offer a top-tier product for your European vehicle.
Features:
At regular oil changes, clean to K&P's specifications for continued used - a true lifetime filter.
