Air Filter Solution for Pre 09/09 M3s
As some of you have heard, BMW/Mahle have discontinued the charcoal lined (p/n 13727838805) air filters for pre 09/09 M3s. The difference is the spring loaded nub in the intake housing. I have designed a ABS printed replacement to allow you to reuse your existing housing with the later paper filter (p/n 13727838804).
If anyone is interested, I would be happy to make and sell these to support those who do not want to replace their air boxes or run aftermarket filters. |

Hi, this shocked me a little bit. I have 2008. But per my research this applies "only" to US models, right? For EU models (mine) I use the 13727838804, right?
US 2008: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=13_1243 EU 2008: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=13_1243 It really sucks, sorry about that my US friends. |

Thanks for that. Your solution is good. I saw it on some other websites also when doing the research. I hope that the ABS is able to go through heat cycles without shrinking or changing its shape. Btw you could also publish your STL file, I guess people from the forum would appreciate it Still many people would buy it because they don't have a printer.

Just an FYI, you can still search for Mahle LX1667. They are the same filters that came from BMW and are still available.
