Upgrade your BMW's air filtration system with the Turner Motorsport Exact-Fit High Flow Dry Air Filter. This direct replacement for your factory air filter offers superior airflow, allowing your engine to breathe better and enhancing both power and fuel economy. Enjoy immediate performance gains with this reusable filter, which outperforms stock paper filters and requires minimal maintenance.
Oiled versus Dry Filters:
Although both options will keep the air to your engine clean and improve airflow, there are a few differences to consider when choosing the best filter for you. Oiled filters do allow slightly better airflow than dry filters, however they require more maintenance. Oiled filters will likely get dirty faster, needing to be cleaned more regularly. When cleaning an oiled filter, it is necessary to oil them with filter oil afterwards. This filter will save you money by no longer needing to replace a paper filter.
Dry filters offer slightly lower airflow but are easier to maintain while still outperforming the OE paper filter. Dry filters can be washed with warm soapy water. There is no oiling necessary afterwards.
Both dry and oiled filters flow better than stock and can be reused.

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:
E36 3 series: 323i 323is 323ic 325i 325is 325ic 328i 328is 328ic M3 1992-1998

E39 5 series : 525i 528i 530i 1997-2003

E85 Z4 : Z4 2.5i Z4 3.0i M54 engine 2004-2006
This version has an oil-free filter media for less maintenance. For the best flowing filter, with the best performance gain, we always recommend the standard aFe "Pro5R " filter (which has a blue pre-oiled filter media), but this oil-free filter flows only slightly less than the blue Pro5R style aFe filter, and requires no re-oiling after cleaning the filter.

This is a drop-in stock replacement aFe performance air filter that installs into your BMW's factory airbox. 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.

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!
