BMC FB480/20 High-Performance Replacement Panel Air Filter

The BMC FB480/20 is a high-performance replacement panel air filter designed to drop directly into the factory airbox in place of the OEM filter. It delivers improved airflow and superior filtration efficiency, making it an ideal upgrade for drivers seeking better engine response and long-term reliability without any airbox modification.

Superior Filtration Technology:

• Constructed from multi-layered cotton gauze soaked in low-viscosity oil, providing exceptional filtration of particles as small as 7 microns — compared to 10 microns for standard OEM paper filters
• Covered with an epoxy-coated alloy mesh to protect against petrol fumes and oxidation caused by air humidity
• Full Moulding construction — the characteristic red filter body is formed from a single mould with no welded joints, reducing the risk of breakage and ensuring a long service life
• The rubber surround is highly durable with optimum adhesion to all airbox shapes for a secure, leak-free fit

Washable and Reusable:

• All BMC panel filters are supplied pre-oiled and ready to install
• Can be cleaned and re-oiled using the appropriate BMC Regeneration Kit, making this a cost-effective long-term alternative to disposable paper filters

Direct OEM Replacement:

• Installs directly into the vehicle's original airbox — no modifications required
• Increases airflow with minimal pressure drop between unfiltered and filtered air
• Maintains strict filtration standards while improving overall engine breathing efficiency

The BMC FB480/20 is a proven performance upgrade for Citroën and Peugeot 1.6L applications, offering the reliability of an OEM-style fitment with the airflow and filtration advantages of a premium cotton gauze filter.
