It appears these are completely different from the intakes on the N63 50i...
The filters on the N63 appear to be embedded into the center of a molded panel inside the airboxes. Completely different system from the S63 on the "M". This could be contributing to the 150hp difference between the two engines as it appears to be significantly more restrictive... I did a quick search online and haven't found any aftermarket filters or intake systems for the 50i. Looking at the realoem diagram, now I know why. Time permitting, I may dive into the airboxes this weekend to get a better understanding of what the filters look like and how they are held in there... Below is the filter element outlined in red. |

Old thread but the OEM paper filter wasn't poorly designed to begin with. A good reason why one would switch over to K&N is the longevity of the filter and not for marginal performance gains.

Just replaced my filters with the K&N ones. I have to say that throttle response is noticeably sharper though my oem filters had 40k miles and noticeable debris on them. Could be due to cleaner filters most likely. Don't think this is placebo though, induction noise has slightly increased also

After hearing some good reviews about the k&n filter, I decided to order one and since I saw a good price at 4wheelonline. I'm not expecting a big improvement also; I just want a good replacement for the stock.

Thank you for the excellent write up! Doing my ride tonight... I also will be replacing my cabin air filter. I plan on taking pics like this and posting.
Cheers Update... Easy install, like 5 minutes. Took longer to wipe down the inside of the intake than replacing the filters. I was shocked at how dirty the factory ones were, and the dealership just sold it to me in March. It was a re-certified model but can't see how the factory filters made it through the inspection?

thanks for the instruction.
I have 2013 x6m with 46k miles, BMW dealer at Mount Laurel, NJ charges $549+ tax for a simple air filter(they called it intake silencer) replacement, since the cost of the filer is less then $100, hence they charge over $400 for the labor. wondering what makes them to charge such high price for this service? |
