Searching for the ultimate air filter for your 3.0-litre N54? Meet the MMX Performance Elite Series Panel Air Filter—a premium tri-foam, direct OE replacement for BMW E8X and E9X models. It’s built using techniques and materials inspired by Formula 1, World Rally, and Touring Cars, so the performance pedigree runs deep.

The same precision engineering you’d expect from elite motorsport finds its way into this filter. Three layers of progressive-density foam deliver high airflow with confident filtration, letting your twin-turbo breathe freely while keeping the fine stuff out. The rigid frame and full-perimeter seal sit tight in the factory airbox, so fitment feels factory—only better.

Installation is as simple as a standard filter swap. No tuning. No warning lights. You’ll notice crisper throttle response, smoother mid-range pull, and a cleaner induction note on throttle—quiet at a cruise, purposeful when you ask for it. When service time comes, wash, re-oil, and refit. Easy.

What you get:

  • Tri-foam media with progressive layers for flow and filtration
  • Direct OE replacement that drops into the stock airbox
  • Washable and reusable construction to cut running costs
  • Stable, MAF-friendly airflow for road and track use
  • Durable frame and gasket that hold shape through heat cycles

If you want an N54 that feels keener without changing its character, this tri-foam Elite Series filter sets a new standard—motorsport know-how, everyday reliability, and a tidy bump in response you’ll feel on the first drive.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Brand

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.

  • Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content.  Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
  • Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
  • Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
  • Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
