Foam offers a larger dirt holding capacity, so airflow stays higher for longer. Where thin cotton or paper stretched over V shaped wire can clog and restrict flow, the Pipercross multi layer foam continues to breathe, helping your E46 318d or 320d maintain consistent performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe three stage foam design works hard to protect your engine in all conditions. The outer coarse layer captures larger particles, the middle medium layer traps the bulk of remaining contaminants and the inner fine layer catches the rest. That means excellent filtration, sustained airflow and reliable protection on UK roads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eReal world results our customers love\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eWe have fitted and run these Pipercross panel filters on customer E46 diesels and our own cars. The feedback is consistently positive. Crisper throttle response, smoother pull through the rev range and a subtle, satisfying intake note. It is an easy, worthwhile upgrade that complements stock or lightly tuned setups while retaining the practicality of the OEM airbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eFitment and installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eCompatible vehicles: BMW 3 Series E46 318d and 320d 136 bhp, model years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 with build dates 09\/01 to 09\/05.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFitting is a simple swap into the standard airbox.
