Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does this filter fit the old body (F20) vehicle? NO, IT DOES NOT FIT! This filter (C 22 018) is only for the new body (F40) 1 Series vehicles produced after 2019. If your vehicle is an F20 model produced between 2011-2019, the filter structure is completely different.
Is the same filter used in petrol and diesel vehicles? Yes, the engine layout and air filter housing design in the F40 chassis are common. Both the 118i (Petrol) and 116d (Diesel) models use this filter.
Which other vehicles does it fit? This product is also compatible with; BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe (F44), 2 Series Active Tourer (U06), X1 (F48 LCI), X2 (F39), and new generation MINI Cooper models.
How often should I change it? It is recommended to change it during every periodic maintenance (10,000 - 15,000 km) to protect the sensitive mass air flow (MAF) sensors of BMW engines and ensure fuel economy.
