Product Description

The K&N 33-3028 is a high-flow, washable, and reusable panel air filter designed to fit a wide range of modern BMW models (2011-2020) - from 3-Series through 7-Series and X-Series SUVs - when equipped with compatible 3.0 L diesel or appropriate engines. Its oiled cotton-gauze media and pleated design allow for significantly greater airflow compared to standard paper filters, which can result in improved engine breathing, smoother throttle response, and potentially better performance under load or during spirited driving. Because the filter is washable and reusable, you avoid frequent disposable filter replacements - making it a cost-effective, eco-friendly option for long-term ownership.

Installation is simple when your vehicle matches the listed fit-years and engine types - the filter is a direct drop-in for the original intake air box. Maintenance is straightforward: just clean and re-oil per manufacturer instructions, typically every 50,000 miles under normal conditions. If maintained properly, 33-3028 can serve the lifetime of the vehicle, offering a balance of performance, reliability, and longevity for BMW owners.

WARNING: Fitment Advisory: Always verify your vehicle's model year, engine type, and air box dimensions before ordering. Although 33-3028 covers a broad range of BMW vehicles for 2011-2020, compatibility depends on trim and engine - confirm against your VIN or OEM filter reference before installation.
