Washable and reusable, it offers a lifetime of enhanced engine protection and performance tailored specifically for your vehicle. ## Description In general, vehicles such as car or motorcycles require a total particle filtration efficiency up to a minimum size of 10 microns, to avoid any risk of passage of foreign objects that may damage the mechanical components downstream of the intake system (Air Flow Sensors, injectors, valves and segments). OEM air filters are made of paper and their main function is to protect the engine. These filters have high resistance to the air flow, which reduces the inlet pressure and reduces the engine's performance. BMC's air filters provide a considerably greater air flow. Furthermore, compared to a conventional paper filter, which at the time of maintenance must be replaced, the BMC air filter (being reusable) has a life equal to that of the vehicle itself. Another type of air filters on the market are synthetic filters, which BMC has produced for years only for non-road applications. The main difference between the BMC oiled cotton filters and filters made of synthetic material (for example plastic canvas) is the principle of impurities stoppage. The synthetics allow passage of particles in the size of the micro-filter material: it follows that a filter with 80 micron holes allows the passage of all items below that size, stopping only particles larger than the size of the hole (an example: the sand has a size of about 50 microns). The cotton has a larger plot, which favors the passage of a large flow of air and through the combination of different layers containing oil, ensure the stoppage of all the impurities from 7 microns up. To date, this concept is the best solution for both better filtration and higher performances. Review: Fb132/01 - Fb132/01 Review: Passt überhauper nicht für E46 320i M54 2,2l 170PS, obwohl genau so bei BMC gelistet. - Gemäß den Angaben auf der BMC Herstellerseite ist dieser Filter exakt für den BMW E46 320i mit 170PS, dem 2,2l M54 Sechszylinder ausgelegt. Tja, soweit die Theorie. Er sieht gut aus und ist auch qualitativ prima verarbeitet, aber mit Müh' und Not passt er überhaupt in den Luftfilterkasten, der sich dann aber nicht mehr verschließen lässt, geschweige denn überhaupt dicht wäre. Also eine enttäuschende und schmerzhafte Fehlinvestition, das kommt direkt in den Müll. ## Features - BMC Filters are constructed using a process called "Full Moulding" developed by the BMC F1 R&D team - BMC air filters are designed and produced to ensure a higher air flow than OEM air filters - The filtering material is composed of a special cotton gauze soaked with low-viscosity oil to give you the best air permeability - BMC Air Filters are washable and reusable, perfect for high performance applications ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00B4DF7ZK | | Automotive Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,643,719 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #447 in Automotive Performance Air Filters #25,825 in Automotive Replacement Air Filters | | Brand | BMC AIR FILTER | | Brand Name | BMC AIR FILTER | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 16 Reviews | | Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08032872862242 | | Included Components | Panel Air Filters | | Item Type Name | Panel Air Filters | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | BMC | | Manufacturer Part Number | FB132/01 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Manufacturer’s Warranty | | Model Number | FB132/01 | | Number of Items | 1 | | OEM Equivalent Part Number | BMW 13721730449, BMW 13721744869, BMW 3721730946, BMW 721738462 | | OEM Part Number | BMW 13721730449, BMW 13721744869, BMW 3721730946, BMW 721738462 | | Product Grade | Replacement Part | | Shape | Round | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BMC AIR FILTER - **OEM Part Number:** BMW 13721730449, BMW 13721744869, BMW 3721730946, BMW 721738462 - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 08032872862242 - **Shape:** Round - **Manufacturer:** BMC ## Images ![BMC (FB132/01) High Performance Air Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jy0HlRIUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fb132/01 *by C***N on September 24, 2022* Fb132/01 ### ⭐ Passt überhauper nicht für E46 320i M54 2,2l 170PS, obwohl genau so bei BMC gelistet. *by A***R on May 9, 2025* Gemäß den Angaben auf der BMC Herstellerseite ist dieser Filter exakt für den BMW E46 320i mit 170PS, dem 2,2l M54 Sechszylinder ausgelegt.
