BMC FB455/01 Sport Panel Replacement Air Filter

The BMC FB455/01 is a high-performance drop-in panel air filter designed to replace the factory OEM air filter inside the original vehicle airbox. Engineered in Italy by one of the world's leading manufacturers of performance filtration, this filter delivers a measurable increase in airflow and engine breathability over restrictive stock paper filters.

Key Features:

• Increased Airflow: Improves air passage by at least 27% compared to the standard OEM filter, supporting better engine performance and throttle response
• Superior Filtration: Multi-layered cotton gauze soaked in low-viscosity oil captures contaminants down to 7 microns — finer than the typical 10-micron threshold of OEM filters
• Full Moulding Construction: Produced as a single mould with no welded joints, reducing the risk of breakage and ensuring a long-lasting, airtight seal within the airbox
• Durable Rubber Frame: The characteristic red rubber surround is highly durable and conforms to airbox shapes for a secure, leak-free fit
• Epoxy-Coated Alloy Mesh: Protects the filter media from fuel vapors and oxidation caused by air humidity
• Washable & Reusable: Pre-oiled from the factory and fully regenerable using the BMC regeneration/cleaning kit — eliminating the cost of repeated disposable filter replacements
• Direct Drop-In Fit: Installs directly into the factory airbox with no modifications required

The BMC FB455/01 is a straightforward performance upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved engine efficiency and longevity. As a washable, reusable filter, it offers a cost-effective and environmentally conscious alternative to disposable OEM replacements. BMC recommends cleaning and re-oiling approximately every 20,000–25,000 km depending on driving conditions.
