Air Filter

Deliberate2 · 01-09-2019, 10:02 AM

Friends, I want to replace the air filter on our '11 X3 35i. Is this the correct one, for after market? Any issues going with this rather than OEM? And any particular issues to keep in mind when doing the install?

That will work. It's the same one I used for mine. There are actully two filters in the box and both are used at the same time. You'll see how when you open the filter housing

BMW/Mercedes switched to Hengst for their filter products, but Mann is good.

Yes that is the correct filter. I bought the exact same one a month ago and it was identical to the OEM.

There is only 1 filter, I believe rirrgang is talking about the cabin air filter which is 2 filters stacked on top of one another.

Mann, Mahle, Hengst or Wix would all be brands I'd use.

Oh yes, I stand corrected. That is the air filter and the right one as well. When I clicked the link it took me to amazon and said I purchased it a few months ago.
