High-Flow Replacement Filter for the U.S.-Spec E9x M3 (2010–2013)
The BMC Air Filter FB536/08 is a drop-in cylindrical element designed for the U.S.-market BMW M3 E90/E92/E93 models from 2010–2013 equipped with the S65 4.0L V8. Built with BMC’s Full-Moulding red rubber frame and multi-layer oiled cotton gauze supported by epoxy-coated mesh, it delivers increased airflow while filtering particles down to ~7 microns—significantly tighter than typical OEM paper (~10 µm). Washable, reusable, and engineered for an OEM-quality seal in the stock airbox.
Why Choose the BMC FB536/08 Air Filter?
- Airflow & Protection: Higher intake flow while capturing fine particulates ≥ 7 µm.
- Washable & Reusable: Easily serviced with the BMC regeneration kit—no disposable paper filters needed.
- Durable Construction: One-piece Full-Moulded red rubber frame ensures rigidity and long-term sealing.
- OEM-Style Fitment: Direct drop-in replacement for the 2010–2013 U.S.-spec E9x M3 airbox.
