Air Filter for Euro Airbox

[Guihan]

I finally got a Euro Airbox for my 128i. The car is going in to the dealer on Friday for the PCV heater recall and I’m hoping to install the Airbox after it’s done. Anyone have any recommendations or guidance on which air filter to buy? Thanks

I'm running the Mann and it's OE equivalent, FCP has then genuine filter though for lifetime warranty purposes.

Ok. Where did you buy the Mann from? I’m California and none of the auto parts stores sell it? Thanks

Amazon.

The Mahle LX1035 also is OE equivalent.

Ok. Just curious, is WIX good?

[spidertri]

Yeah, generally WIX is good. I've never had an issue with their stuff personally. Used WIX oil filters on other cars.

How about a "BMW performance" filter?

I went ahead and order the Mann C18114. Should be here mid next week. Can't wait to install the Euro AB. Thanks everyone for the recommendations.

I was pretty close to ordering this but I've had K&Ns before and never really liked having to clean and oil it. I order the Mann air filter, but I'm still considering the AFe dry filter. Maybe next time. The car went into the dealer this morning for the recall so hopefully one less thing to worry about. Thanks.
