BMC F1 Replacement Air Filter
Washable BMC F1 replacement filter for the BMW M3 E46 (2000-2006), dropping into the factory airbox in place of the paper original. The full-molded rubber outer frame seals tightly and resists cracking, while the washable cotton element flows nearly 40 percent more air than paper inside an alloy mesh screen that holds its shape and keeps out debris. BMC filters are original equipment for the Ferrari Formula 1 and GT race teams, plus Porsche, Mercedes-AMG and Audi's motorsport programmes. An optional cleaning kit is available to re-oil the filter for continued use over the life of the car.
Frequently asked
Does the BMC F1 Replacement Air Filter fit my M3?
This listing is specific to the BMW M3 (E46). Exact fitment for your year, trim and options is confirmed on your free consult before anything is ordered.
What does the price include?
The delivered price includes the part from Fabspeed USA, freight to Australia, import costs and GST. Enter your postcode to refine delivery; the final figure is confirmed on consult.
How long until it arrives?
Every Fabspeed part is made in-house at Fabspeed USA with about a one-week production lead time, then allow another 3-4 days for delivery to Australia via UPS. That freight is already included in the price.
Is this filter washable?
Yes. The cotton element is washable and re-oilable for the life of the car; a dedicated BMC cleaning kit is available as an add-on at checkout.
Will it fit my E46 M3 without modification?
Yes, it's a direct drop-in for the factory M3 E46 airbox (2000-2006), using the OEM mounting points with no cutting or fabrication.
How much more airflow does it provide over the factory filter?
BMC's cotton element flows close to 40 percent more air than the stock paper filter, thanks to its alloy mesh-backed construction.
Which option should I choose?
Add the BMC cleaning kit if you want a ready-made way to wash and re-oil the filter at home; skip it if you already have compatible filter cleaner and oil, or plan to buy one later.
Who installs it?
Rennen Motorsport in Adelaide, or an authorised dealer near you. Fitting it yourself may also be an option depending on the part, so raise it on your consult; professional installation is quoted separately.
Is it covered by warranty?
Fabspeed products carry the manufacturer's warranty, supported locally through Rennen Plus as the Australian principal. See our returns policy.
Can I just buy this outright, or do I need to talk to someone first?
Every enquiry, whether it's one part or a full build, starts with a free consult. We confirm the exact spec for your car before anything is quoted or ordered.
