hi which filter will give the best perfomance and protection for Volkswagen golf 8 ?
Which one is best in performance? I own a bmw g310 RR .( I don't have any budget issue)
Oil based air filter have been known to destroy airflow map sensor as the oil can stick onto the map sensor and hamper its functioning
I picked up my BMC filter yesterday, can't wait to install. Bouya!!!
You wont be disappointed!

I found dry flows less gets dirty faster but filters more dirt. Oiled filters flow more last longer but filter less dirt.
Which dry one you recommend? As i'm not into a stage 2+ I don't need too much air flow compared to stock.. honestly I don't know even if i need a perf air filter for stage 2 (TTs mk2 hoping for 330hp).. bad experience with my A3 MAF K&N.. avoiding oiled ones then
@@jakjak258 Piper cross air filter
doesnt last more than 2500miles to get stuck !! @@ccarlock8537
Excellent
I have kandn filters in all my cars worth every penny!
same!
Which ones sound the best? Do different shapes filters have different sounds or are they all the same sound?
upgraded airbox filters don't really alter the sound of the intake. If you are trying to get those deep intake sounds usually you would install a cold air intake instead.
Abarth 595 says bmc under the bonnet on a sticker does it have to be that or can you use k&n thanks
Go BMC abarth bro.......
What you recommend for my Land Cruiser 2014 for normal use and not effecting the engine badly for long period?
K&N makes one for your vehicle, neither of these drop in filters negatively affects a stock motor. If you aren't looking to wash/oil your filter during maintenance intervals just stick to the OEM paper filter.
@@Jrponline Thanks 🌹
@@Jrponline How would they not affect a motor? Don't the higher flowing aftermarket air filters let in more contaminants? Which are very harmful for an engine.
Which air filters is better for a ghibli and see and feel increase of some horsepower
That’s so funny I’m here looking for that same answer, I have a Maserati and I orders both BMC just contacted me and said they’re out of stock until Feb so I’m going with K&N for now
The oil based filter k&n over time can destroy the map sensor as the oil can run off the oiled air filter and stick onto the map sensor
Could you please suggest me which one is better for KTM DUKE 250 ??
For the KTM's BMC is a must have.
Hi which filter will give the best perfomance and protection for Bmw F30 320i 2016
If we are comparing drop-in replacement filters then the BMC (part number FB928/20) for your car will have a slight edge in terms of performance. However, if peak hp is what you are after we would recommend going straight to a cold air intake.
@@Jrponline it will be drop in not air induction. Btwn the K&N and BMC drop in which would you think will give the best performance.
@@Jrponline how about for a 2015 ghibli and want to feel some increase of horsepower
@@tjraider97 BMC makes your replacement air filters. However if you are looking for power the filters wont provide that. If you are trying to make power you would need to make a custom intake like the BMC OTA systems, add an exhaust and tune to the vehicle.
@@Jrponline Im in CA Im looking for a spot to get that done
what about Pipercross? without Oil ? ;D
Another great choice!
I have a Pipercross air-intake, I'm not getting their oil anywhere
Can i use k&n or bmc oil to it?
Pipercross is a little different from K&N and BMC since their foam media is constructed differently. The manufacturer will advise that you use their product in particular and we suggest the same. We have used other cleaners and oils around the shop but always on cotton or synthetic gauze filters. We just dont know enough about those foam ones sorry.
Thank you, this information helps
@@Jrponline Can the cleaner and oil be used on bmc and k&n interchangeably? I may get a BMC filter for our new car but have some k&n oil/cleaner for a k&n filter in our old car.
@@mathsunmasked56 between BMC and K&N we've used the oil and cleaner interchangeably without issue in the shop.
Pipercross doesn't last more than 2500miles until is blocked and be like a paper one!
Are the BMC air filters only made for sports cars? Because I wanna get a better air filter for my Nissan Xterra and obviously better MPG.
BMC filters makes 2 types of filters however they aren't offered for every vehicle application. The replacement filter and the race filter are both huge improvements over the OEM grade paper filters. If better MPG is what you are after then the BMC makes the replacement filter for the Xterra. This will help. However for better MPG the filter is only one part of the solution. Remember to maintain plugs, clean throttle body, MAF, PCV... That will fetch you better MPG in the end.
@@Jrponline
Alright awesome dude, I really appreciate the response.
What filter to get for himalayan 411 ??
BMC
Hey I'm tossing up filters for my Toyota 86, want do you guys recommend? Thank you
Can't go wrong with K&N for the 86!
Would be nice if these were actually put to the test...
Can I use k&n cleaner kit on BMC air filter ?
Both K&N and BMC have very similar cleaning solutions. We have used both interchangeably in the shop without issue.
Suggest me a air filter for gt650 for better sound
A replacement filter wont get you much sound from your air box. You may want to look into a cold air intake system.
I would prefer stock filter if for daily driving. These filters might cause check engine.
That’s just speculation right?!
@@ntwalipat2 more airflow, less filtration.
@@neometalx9
Yeah! I didn’t notice much of a difference on the 1st of installation, so I replace the K&N filter with an OEM one!
So k&n is better?
It really depends on the application and your budget. If you are dying for a low micron race filter go BMC, if you want great performance on a budget then take a good look at K&N.
For me it is!
@@Jrponline So better air filtration, go with BMC, even if it costa bit more.
KN quality has been awful recently
I bought a bmc air filter for my s80 T6 because the kn filter mold was horrible all this silicone on the side of the mold is just disgusting craftsmanship
Lotta neck beard "bruh trust me" advice in here..
These air filters increase air flow but capture less dirt. It's not good for engines for long term. As seen in a test done by one you tuber
Bmc ota for me! 🦾🦾🦾
