Why choose a Pipercross foam air filter for your BMW X5 F15 or F85
Pipercross uses multi-layered foam technology instead of cotton or paper. Foam has a higher dirt-holding capacity, which means it maintains high airflow for longer. In real-world terms, your X5 can keep performing at its best while the filter continues to flow, where thin cotton or paper elements stretched over V-shaped wire frames can begin to restrict.
The triple-layer design delivers exceptional engine protection and performance:
- Outer coarse foam captures larger particles
- Middle medium foam traps the majority of debris
- Inner fine foam handles the remaining fine particles
This progressive filtration gives reliable protection in varied UK driving conditions, while helping your turbo diesel breathe more freely for a smooth, responsive drive.
