K&N's drop-in air intake filter is constructed from cotton gauze material between aluminum mesh - this makes for a long lasting, high performance drop-in intake filter. These are very easy to remove and maintain. Turner Motorsport recommends this as one of the first maintenance/modifications you make to your vehicle after you purchase! 

K&N's drop in air filters allow increased airflow - dirt and particles stick to the oil on these filters, making them more effective than traditional paper filters in terms of protection. Additionally, K&N believes their filters are more efficient than paper filers - this means more oxygen getting into the engine, allowing vaporized fuel to burn more efficiently and increasing horsepower and fuel economy. The best of both worlds!

  • Covered by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty
  • Washable and reusable
  • Emissions legal in all 50 states
  • Will not void vehicle warranty

This version uses aFe's highest flowing filter media, which uses a lightly oiled 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.

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 3 series: 318i, 318is 318i Convertible 1990-1991
E30 3 series: 325e, 325es 1986-1988
E30 3 series: 325i, 325is 325ic, 325ix 1987-1991
E28 5 Series: 528e 1986-1988
E34 5 Series: 525i 1989-1990
E32 7 Series: 750il 1988-1994 (requires 2 of these filters).

The BMW M3 E46 CSL it´s one of the most famous and mythical cars in the world, and part of the success is due to the carbon airbox. This intake generates what is probably one of the best noises of any sports car. For that reason, a lot of BMW E30 users want to get the same noise in their E30´s S54 Swap. As the E46 CSL Airbox does not fit correctly on the E30 chassis with the S54 Engine, we did some modifications on our Airbox to get a perfect fitment on these swaps. The S54 E30 Airbox comes without the front inner canalization that usually brings fresh air from the front bumper, also the box it´s modified on the rear, near the servo unit to prevent friction in that area.
