BMC FB842/01 Replacement Panel Air Filter

The BMC FB842/01 is a high-performance replacement panel air filter designed to drop directly into the factory airbox. This premium cotton gauze filter delivers significantly improved airflow over restrictive OEM paper filters while providing superior engine protection through advanced multi-layer filtration technology.

Advanced Filtration Technology:

• Multi-layered oiled cotton gauze construction filters particles as small as 7 microns, compared to 10 microns for standard paper filters
• Epoxy-coated alloy mesh backing protects against petrol fumes and oxidation from air humidity
• Low-viscosity oil coating creates sticky surface that captures impurities without restricting airflow
• Produces less than half the pressure drop of OEM paper filters for maximum air intake efficiency

Full Moulding Construction:

• Characteristic red filter frame manufactured in a single mould with no welded joints, eliminating common breakage points
• Minimal rubber border (less than 6mm) maximizes filtering surface area
• Durable rubber gasket ensures optimal seal with factory airbox
• Designed and manufactured in Bologna, Italy using Formula 1-derived technology

Washable and Reusable:

Unlike disposable paper filters that must be replaced during every service interval, BMC filters are pre-oiled and can be washed and regenerated using BMC cleaning kits. With proper maintenance, this filter will last the lifetime of your vehicle, providing both environmental and cost benefits over repeatedly purchasing disposable filters.

Quality Assurance:

BMC carries ISO 5011 certification and conducts rigorous filtration testing to meet international standards. Every filter undergoes thorough quality control to ensure optimal performance in automotive, racing, aerospace, and industrial applications.
