K&N replacement Filter for 116i

[Jarv]

Hi Guys.
I went searching around the internet and found that i can get a K&N filter which is made for your specific model 1 series.
So im going to phone around and see where i can get one and try it out.
Basically K&N said it replaces the stock one and no need for cutting etc.

Im not sure though how to even get the air box off LOL
the Filter part number is a RC-9310

Any of you guys tried Filters and that?
Any advice?

Thanks
Jarryd

the filter will improve throttle response and you should see a small improvement in fuel consumption... I have used them before and the induction sound is the biggest difference :rollsmile:

over all they worth the cost and pay for themselves over time be sure you clean and recharge it according to K&N instructions and you will have no problems...

 

[Jarv]

Great thanks so much for the feedback !
appreciate it!

Jarryd go to Masterparts in Bellville. Masterparts

These K&N flat panel filters are direct replacements. Don't expect much change in performance or sound. Looking around now i don't think they made flat panel filters for 1 series.

The part number you posted is for a cone filter. You will need a heat shield other wise you will decrease performance due to hot air being sucked in. It does make a nice exhaust sound. My K&N CAI was imported from UK.

I had a look at it and K&N say this cone fits inside the airbox :rollsmile:

[Jarv]

i have no clue?
Its ok though dont mind waiting.

I want to know is there a How To section to go by installing this Filter??

 

[moranor@axis]

changing an air filter is piss... i dont think there will be any writeup on how to do it because its too easy...

If you get stuck maybe take some pics of what you are confused about and im sure we can help

 

[ChrisBrand]

After reading this thread, decided to get one for my car. my one was esy to replace, not sure about the 4 cylinder motors, filters are completely different

 

[Jarv]

Cool @Diablo Jnr does it make a difference?
Do you have the 130i?

Im sure its quite easy to replace just not sure about a how to get the whole cover and stuff off.
When i get the filter il phone you Chris.

 

[Diablo Jnr]

Yep, made quite a difference, throttle response is better but i think it has more to do with the fact that my old filter was filthy than the k&n filter
