The F-connector is located on the air intake boot and provides a connection point for the vacuum lines that run to the brake booster and fuel pressure regulator. The factory connector is made of plastic and with heat and exposure to the elements the connector becomes brittle and potentially cracks. As a result, a vacuum leak occurs which can cause poor idling issues, evap fault codes, and poor performance. 

This aluminum version from ECS Tuning is impervious to these issues, and will easy outlast the rest of your plastic and rubber vacuum system components. 

This item fits the following BMWs: 
E39 525i 530i 

E46 325i 325xi 330i 330xi

Z3 2.5i 3.0i

Give your engine the airflow it deserves with this reusable, high-performance air filter—perfect as a direct replacement for an ECS intake system or as the finishing touch for your custom intake project.
Dimensions: 4.5" Base OD • 6" Filter Height • 3.5" Top OD

Upgrade from your restrictive factory filter to an ECS Tuning High-Flow Dry Air Filter and let your engine breathe freely. Improved intake flow enhances power throughout the rev range while helping maintain efficient fuel economy.

Oiled vs. Dry Filters — Which Is Right for You?

Oiled Filters

Offer slightly higher airflow for maximum performance

Require more frequent cleaning

Must be re-oiled after each cleaning

Long-term reusable design saves money over disposable paper filters

Dry Filters

Provide excellent airflow with minimal maintenance

Easily cleaned with warm, soapy water—no oiling required

Still flow significantly better than OE paper filters

Fully reusable and cost-effective

Both versions deliver superior performance over stock filters while offering the long-term benefit of reusability. Choose the option that best fits your maintenance style and performance goals.

When using meth injection, pump gas will resist detonation much better because the methanol essentially raises the octane rating of the fuel and will allow you to run much more aggressive street tuning.
