Which air filter should I choose
So recently I bought F22 228iX and I did my first service but I didn't know which air filter to choose because on realoem.com it says that if you have M Sports Package which I have, then you would have to choose the filter with 3 layers instead of 2.
So for M Sports package 13718511668 for non M package 13718507320 They are the same dimension only in the M version there is another third layer. The price difference is kinda big (98%), and I dont know if I have the M airbox or not. Do you think I will be okay with normal filter with only 2 layers? |

And if you purchase it from FCP you'll never pay for another filter, as long as they honor their lifetime replacement warranty!

I am not sure if it's really worth returning a used air filter. If you shop a bit, you can find an OEM Mahle or Mann for about $20 - 25. It certainly cost at least $15 to ship USPS Standard.

The filter being discussed is the engine air filter & has nothing to do with the car's A/C.

I have been using KN Airfilter since 10K KM's ago. Don't really notice much gain, but no issues at all.

Go to www.realoem.com and enter the last 7 characters of your car's vehicle identification number. Hit enter and bookmark the page.. Click on fuel injection system to find the correct part number for the filter.

here in germany many 2 owners recommend using the Pipercross Airfilter as its easier to clean and maintane than the K&N Filters that are oiled.
I will buy one soon and let u know if i notice any difference, im about to replace mine in a few weeks. |
