Standard paper media relies on surface filtration that rapidly loads with particulate, compounding airflow restriction as mileage increases. Furthermore, cellulose is prone to moisture saturation and thermal degradation in the high-heat environment of the hot-V turbo configuration, degrading flow consistency and dulling throttle response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BMC filter uses multi-layer surgical cotton gauze saturated with low-viscosity synthetic oil, supported by an epoxy-coated alloy mesh. This depth-filtration design captures particulates down to 7 microns without choking mass airflow (MAF). The perimeter is molded using a single-shot polyurethane process with no welded joints, ensuring airtight sealing against the OEM airbox housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe media is washable and regenerable, eliminating flow loss across extended service intervals while withstanding the elevated thermal cycles of the twin-turbo engine bay.\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\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e264mm x 217mm panel\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 FB01073\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\u003eBMW 5 Series (G30,G31,F90) M550iX (530 HP) | 2019-2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW 7 Series (G11,G12) 750iX (530 HP) | 2019+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW 7 Series (G11,G12) 750LiX (530 HP) | 2019+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW 8 Series (G14,G15,G16,F91,F92,F93) M850iX (530 HP) | 2018+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe package contains 2 filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross Reference (BMC):\u003c\/strong\u003e BMW 13718699809, BMW 13718699810\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the G30, G11\/G12, and G14\/G15\/G16 8 Series, 7 Series, and 5 Series?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct drop-in replacement for the factory airbox on models equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eN63\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.4L V8 engine.
