This is a panel type air filter produced by the original filter supplier MANN-FILTER (C 24 025) for the B38 (1.5 Litre 3 Cylinder Petrol) and B48 (2.0 Litre 4 Cylinder Petrol) engines found in the BMW 1 Series (F20 LCI) facelift models. It protects the combustion chamber by purifying the air required by the engine from the finest dust particles. It has flame-retardant properties in accordance with BMW's factory standards.
- OEM Quality: It is identical to the filter used on the assembly line at the BMW factory for B38/B48 engines.
- Complete Seal: Thanks to the flexible polyurethane gasket on the edges, it fits snugly into the filter housing, preventing dirty air from bypassing into the engine.
- Sensor Protection: Keeps the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor clean, preventing the vehicle from experiencing idle instability and triggering the warning light.
- High Efficiency: Its special pleated structure provides high air permeability, not restricting the engine's performance.
