1997 BMW 328ic Air Filters

To achieve optimum performance, combustion engines require clean intake air. If pollutants in the air, such as soot or dust, get into the combustion chamber, pitting may occur on the cylinder heads, causing premature wear of the engine. The function of electronic parts located between the suction and the combustion chamber may also be significantly impaired. MANN-FILTER air filters are the end of the road for all dirt particles. No matter whether it’s dust, pollen, sand, soot or even water droplets – thanks to the highest degree of dirt separation and high mechanical stability, MANN-FILTER air filters filter even the smallest particles out of the intake air. This enables an optimum composition of the fuel-air ratio and ensures that the engine performance is consistent. In order to guarantee performance, air filters must be checked regularly, as a blocked filter will impede the air supply to the engine. The possible consequence of this is: the fuel may not be completely burned and may in part be discarded without being used.

Constructed with 100-percent polyurethane boxed frame, this non-oiled OE replacement filter provides years of hassle free service. Three Layers of Progressive Synthetic (Dry) Media for Maximum Convenience. Washable and reusable for multiple cleaning cycles, the tall open evenly spaced pleats provide excellent dust holding capacity for longer service cycle between cleanings. Integrated urethane bump seal insures tight, no leak seal over the life of the filter.

Carquest Standard engine air filters are designed to remove airborne contaminants and optimize engine performance in all driving conditions. Each air filter features cured filter media that increases tensile strength, allowing the filter to maintain high-pressure requirements without collapse. Carquest Standard air filters use a polyurethane construction that provides higher tear strength and more structural support. Our Carquest Standard air filters meet original equipment (O.E.) standards and fulfill the requirements for maintaining a new vehicle warranty.
