Performance Air Filter for Mercedes E200 Kompressor W210, VW Transporter / Multivan T5 / T6 (2000-2015+)

High-Flow Filtration for Mercedes W210 E-Class & VW T5/T6 Transporter

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for owners of the Mercedes-Benz W210 E-Class running the M111 Kompressor engine, as well as Volkswagen T5 and T6 Transporter drivers utilizing the TDI and TSI powerplants.

The Problem: The factory paper filters in the M111 Kompressor and the VW TDI series are designed as disposable, low-cost consumables. Over time, these paper elements collapse and clog, significantly restricting the air volume required for efficient combustion. In the Mercedes E-Class, this leads to sluggish throttle response, while in the VW Transporter series, it can cause the turbochargers to work harder than necessary to compensate for the intake vacuum.

The Solution: This BMC performance filter corrects the factory limitations of the M111 Kompressor and TDI engines by utilizing a multi-layered cotton gauze media. By moving from a 10-micron paper standard to a 7-micron high-flow gauze, we ensure better protection for your MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor while delivering a consistent, laminar air stream that improves low-end torque and engine efficiency.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Full Moulding Construction: Unlike cheap aftermarket filters, this uses a single-mould system with no welded joints, preventing the rubber from cracking or separating under engine bay heat.
• Epoxy Coated Mesh: The alloy mesh is coated to resist petrol fumes and oxidation, ensuring the filter structure remains rigid even in high-humidity environments.
• Lifetime Efficiency: This is a "buy it once" part. It comes pre-oiled and is fully washable and rechargeable using a standard BMC regeneration kit.
