Product Description

The BMC FM556/20RACE Race Air Filter is engineered as a direct replacement for the stock air filter on BMW S 1000 series motorcycles, including S 1000 RR, S 1000 R, HP4 and XR models. Designed to boost airflow compared to the OEM filter, this race-spec unit features high-performance oiled cotton gauze media that enhances engine breathing and throttle response - especially beneficial during track use or spirited riding. The filter's multilayer construction efficiently traps contaminants while allowing increased air volume to support performance.

Built using BMC's full molding process, the FM556/20RACE offers a one-piece construction without welded seams for improved durability. The epoxy-coated alloy mesh protects the filtration media from fuel vapors and moisture, and the pre-oiled, washable design extends service life. This Race version installs directly into the factory airbox with no modifications required. Fitment is confirmed for the listed model years; coverage for 2021 and newer bikes, including 2025, is unconfirmed at the time of listing and should be verified with an authorized BMC dealer or official fitment guide.
