Performance Air Filter for Mercedes SLS 6.2L (2010 - 2014)

Maximize Induction Efficiency for Your Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG M159 V8

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG owners running the legendary M159 engine family. Whether you’re piloting a standard Coupé or the track-focused Black Series, this is for the driver who demands peak volumetric efficiency.

The Problem: The M159 is one of the greatest naturally aspirated engines ever built, but it is a massive air pump that requires a clean, high-velocity intake charge. Factory paper filters are designed for service intervals, not maximum flow. They create significant restriction at the upper end of the RPM range where the M159 makes its best power, and their filtration capability drops as they clog with particulates.

The Solution: This BMC performance filter replaces the restrictive stock media with multi-layered cotton gauze soaked in low-viscosity oil. We’ve seen these filters significantly improve throttle response by allowing more air into the intake manifolds while actually improving filtration down to 7 microns. It’s an engineering-first approach to protecting your high-revving V8 without the "choke" of a standard paper element.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Airflow: High-permeability cotton gauze allows for a higher volume of air to reach the combustion chamber compared to the dense paper used in OEM filters.
• Full Moulding Construction: Produced using a "Full Moulding" system, creating a single-piece filter without welded joints, eliminating the risk of failure or air bypass under high vacuum.
• Regenerative Design: Unlike disposable filters, these are washable and reusable. Using a BMC regeneration kit ensures your M159 continues to breathe at peak performance for the life of the vehicle.
