Performance Panel Filter for BMW 1, 3 & X1 Models
The BMC Air Filter FB518/08 is a precision drop-in panel filter compatible with a range of BMW 1 Series, 3 Series, and X1 models. Engineered with BMC’s Full-Moulding red rubber frame and layered cotton gauze media backed by epoxy-coated mesh, it improves intake flow while filtering fine particles (~7 µm).
