High-Flow Replacement Filter for Early U.S. E9x M3 (2007–2009)
The BMC Air Filter FB577/08 is a drop-in cylindrical element designed specifically for the U.S.-market BMW M3 E90/E92/E93 models from 2007–2009 equipped with the S65 4.0L V8. Built with BMC’s signature Full-Moulding red rubber frame and multi-layer oiled cotton gauze reinforced by epoxy-coated alloy mesh, it delivers increased airflow while filtering particles down to ~7 microns, outperforming OEM paper (~10 µm). Washable, reusable, and engineered for a perfect OEM-style seal.
Why Choose the BMC FB577/08 Air Filter?
- Enhanced Airflow & Protection: Greater intake volume with fine particulate filtration ≥ 7 µm.
- Washable & Reusable: Service with BMC’s regeneration kit—no more disposable filters.
- Durable Full-Moulded Design: Seamless red rubber frame for strength and long-term sealing.
- OEM-Style Fitment: Direct drop-in replacement for U.S. E9x M3 airboxes (2007–2009 build years).
