Pre 09/09 air filter discontinued?
Got off with FCPEuro. They said BMW and Mahle both discontinued the pre 09/09 air filter.
"BMW does not currently have 13727838805 in their catalog; they are shipping 13727838804 in its place. Unfortunately, the only solutions here are to either replace the air box, or, proceed with an aftermarket filter that is compatible with the current air box in your M3. " What would be the next viable air filter option for our older E9xs? |

I was told this by my dealership parts guy a few months ago. He made extra effort to make sure I got the right filter but had also told me to get ready to go aftermarket. Looks like this corroborates with that. Damnit.

i believe EAS sells the nub you need for the airbox. you don't have to replace the entire lower airbox.
read the description to see if it is what you need. https://europeanautosource.com/colle...ter-bmw-e9x-m3

The eas one seems to be the other way around.
Vehicles Supported E9X EU Spec M3 E9X US Spec M3 (not required on 2008-2009 US M3 models) that may mean the macht schnell filter will be one option to go for the 08~09s |

Seriously, BMW? You decided to change air filter design mid production yet you elect to stop making the original air filter leaving owners with limited aftermarket air filter options. Thanks BMW.

Yeah, if a filter is so much less restrictive than stock that it meaningfully increases power, its filtration ability is going to suck.
We all have rod bearings on our radars, right? One thing that chews up bearings in a hurry is the dirt your filter's supposed to be keeping out... |
