While effective for basic filtration, OEM paper filters create substantial pressure drop across the intake tract as volumetric airflow demands spike under load. As dirt embeds into the fibrous paper, permeability deteriorates rapidly, choking the turbocharger inlet, elevating intake manifold depression, and blunting throttle transient response on forced-induction V6 and V8 powerplants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBMC bypasses the density limitations of conventional paper by utilizing a multi-layered oiled cotton gauze core suspended within an epoxy-coated alloy mesh. This low-viscosity oiled media delivers laminar airflow across the intake surface while capturing particulate contamination down to 7 microns. Encased in a single-piece molded polyurethane perimeter frame, this direct-fit filter is designed to ensure a complete airtight seal against the factory airbox lip to eliminate unmetered pre-turbo air leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe regenerable media allows for thorough solvent washing and re-oiling, preserving volumetric efficiency and peak turbo spool characteristics without triggering Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor faults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilters per kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e248mm x 373mm x 108mm H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBMC FB01060\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility \u0026amp; OEM Reference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits the following vehicles (BMC fitment data):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q7 (4M) 2.0 Tfsi (252 HP) | 2015+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q7 (4M) 3.0 TDI (272 HP) | 2015-2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q7 (4M) 3.0 TDI (249 HP) | 2015+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q7 (4M) 3.0 TDI (218 HP) | 2015-2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q7 (4M) 3.0 TDI E-Tron (258 HP) | 2015-2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q7 (4M) 3.0 Tfsi (333 HP) | 2015-2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q7 (4M) 45 Mild Hybrid TDI 3.0 (231 HP) | 2018-2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q7 (4M) 50 Mild Hybrid TDI 3.0 (286 HP) | 2018-2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q8 (4M) 3.0 TDI (249 HP) | 2018+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q8 (4M) 45 TDI 3.0 (231 HP) | 2018+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q8 (4M) 45 Tfsi 2.0 (245 HP) | 2020+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q8 (4M) 50 TDI (286 HP) | 2023+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q8 (4M) 50 TDI 3.0 (286 HP) | 2018+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q8 (4M) 55 Tfsi (340 HP) | 2023+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Touareg III (CR) 2.0 TSI (249 HP) | 2018+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Touareg III (CR) 2.0 TSI (245 HP) | 2018+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Touareg III (CR) 2.0 TSI (252 HP) | 2018+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Touareg III (CR) 3.0 TDI (249 HP) | 2018+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Touareg III (CR) 3.0 TDI (286 HP) | 2018+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Touareg III (CR) 3.0 TDI (231 HP) | 2018+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Touareg III (CR) 3.0 TDI (258 HP) | 2018+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross Reference (BMC):\u003c\/strong\u003e VW GROUP 4M0133843C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the 4M \/ 4MN Q7,Q8?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct drop-in fit for the Audi Q7 and Q8 with the 2.0 TFSI \/ TSI, 3.0 TFSI or 3.0 TDI engines BMC lists utilizing the OEM airbox housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this upgrade require ECU recalibration or intake plumbing modifications?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, this drop-in panel retains factory intake tract cross-sections and MAF scaling, meaning no ECU tune or additional intake piping modifications are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Audi Engineering Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to meet stringent European standards, this BMC drop-in element provides high-efficiency filtration and crisp throttle response without setting Check Engine Lights or interfering with complex factory intake harmonics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BMC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67576542953720,"sku":"DS-FB01060","price":289.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-air-filter-for-audi-q7-q8-vw-touareg-iii-fb01060-1.jpg?v=1791225938","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/performance-air-filter-for-audi-q7-q8-vw-touareg-iii-fb01060","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
