Performance Air Filters for Bentley Continental GT / Flying Spur W12 (2003-2019)

BMC High-Performance Replacement Air Filter – Bentley Continental W12 (2003–2018)

Elevate your Bentley Continental W12's legendary performance with the BMC high-flow replacement air filter. Engineered for the iconic 6.0L twin-turbo W12 engine—from the original 560 HP GT to the thunderous 710 HP Supersports—this premium filter unleashes improved throttle response and engine breathing while delivering motorsport-grade filtration that captures particles down to 7 microns.

Performance Worthy of a Grand Tourer Icon

Since 2003, the Bentley Continental has defined the modern grand tourer—combining blistering W12 power with handcrafted luxury. Your Continental deserves filtration technology that matches its pedigree. This BMC replacement filter installs directly into your factory airbox, replacing the restrictive OEM paper element with advanced multi-layered cotton gauze that dramatically increases airflow while providing superior engine protection.

Feel the difference in throttle response as your W12 breathes more freely, especially under spirited acceleration.

Uncompromising German-Inspired Engineering

Crafted using BMC's exclusive "Full Moulding" construction, this filter is formed as a single seamless piece—eliminating vulnerable welded joints found in inferior filters. The high-performance cotton gauze is pre-oiled with low-viscosity oil and shielded by an epoxy-coated alloy mesh that resists fuel vapors and oxidation. Premium rubber molding ensures perfect sealing within your Continental's airbox, maintaining optimal performance for the life of your vehicle.
