BMC Air Filters are the premium air filters for any automobile. BMC began manufacturing air filters in 1990, and since then have become the standard for professionals and enthusiasts alike. The air filters manufactured by BMC are made to stop smaller particles than OEM paper filters while still flowing a higher volume of air, all helping to increase your vehicle’s power.
BMC air filters are manufactured in Italy using high quality, multi-layered cotton gauze that is soaked in a low viscosity oil. Harmful materials which carry a negative charge are caught in the positively charged oil, separating these materials from the air your engine is breathing. The oil soaked cotton is then covered with an epoxy coated alloy mesh. This epoxy coating protects from petrol fumes and oxidation. BMC’s filter frames are crafted using a “Full Moulding” technique, creating a single mould without any welded joints, enhancing rigidity and helping avoid easy breakage under spirited driving. All of this together creates the best air filter available for your automobile.
BMC filters are also 100% rechargeable by using a BMC washing kit. Whenever the filter needs serviced it can be completely rejuvenated by a washing and re-oiling procedure. Stock filters need to be replaced frequently and are not washable. BMC filters never need to be replaced, only washed. This makes a BMC air filter more cost effective than stock filters, and also reduces environmental waste.
With a BMC air filter you will experience higher performance, more protection for your engine, and lower operating costs than stock paper filters. Winning race teams from Formula 1, 24 Hours of Le Mans, WRC and more have all used the “Choice of Champions” in their cars. It’s easy to see why adding a BMC filter is the easiest and most effective modification for your vehicle. Your automobile deserves a filter that was designed by Italian engineers specifically for its air box. Unleash your car’s untapped potential with the best performing air filter on the market.
