Product Description

The BMC FB536/08 is a high-performance replacement air filter designed for BMW F15 X5 and F16 X6 platforms equipped with 3.0L inline-six turbocharged engines. It utilizes BMC's advanced multi-layer oiled cotton gauze technology, allowing significantly increased airflow compared to traditional paper filters while maintaining excellent filtration efficiency. This improved airflow helps optimize combustion, which can contribute to enhanced throttle response and more efficient engine performance.

Engineered as a direct drop-in replacement, this filter fits seamlessly into the factory airbox without requiring modifications. Its durable rubber frame ensures a perfect seal, preventing unfiltered air from entering the intake system. The high-strength epoxy-coated mesh reinforces the structure, ensuring long-term durability even under demanding driving conditions. The filter is also fully washable and reusable, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly performance upgrade.

Fitment is confirmed for BMW X5 (F15) and X6 (F16) models equipped with N55 and related 3.0L turbo engines from approximately 2015 through 2019. Fitment is confirmed through 2024, while 2025 coverage remains unconfirmed at the time of this listing. This filter is ideal for drivers seeking a balance of performance, longevity, and easy maintenance while retaining the factory intake system.
