Why choose a Pipercross foam panel filter
Pipercross uses multi-layered reticulated foam that offers a higher dirt holding capacity than cotton or paper media. In real-world driving this means stronger airflow for longer, helping your BMW 1 Series maintain peak performance between services. While thin paper or cotton elements can clog and restrict flow, the Pipercross triple layer design filters progressively:
- Outer coarse foam captures larger particles
- Middle medium foam traps the majority of contaminants
- Inner fine foam handles the smallest particles for excellent engine protection
