Air Filter Options For CSL..

[Bealo]

I'm currently looking at all the Air filters for the CSL on the market.

As far as i know so far there are the.

1, OEM BMW filter
2, ITG filter
3, Pipercross filter

Does anyone know of any other Manufacturers?????

Also anyone used the Pipercross filter? Can you give us a report on it?? fit in airbox etc.

I have had a bad experience with the ITG as i has fowled up in about 6 months and the fit in the airbox was poor to say the least.

Any input appreciated....

why do people whant to change the oem filter
i think it is a great filter :whistle:

[Bealo]

I might be tempted to go back to it after seeing the crap fit of the ITG....

[Mark CSL]

I would think when bmw made the CSL if there was a better filter they would have fitted it after all the CSL is all about performance :thumbs:

There must have been a dodgy batch from ITG as both me and Baz had the 'back to front' filters and yours didn't fit well!

My new ITG fits perfectly snugly however - and is even the right way round :hahaha:

BMC is a bloody good brand and a bloody good filter - there's really no reason to go with anything else to be honest ... Stick with OEM :thumbs:

I might even play up with ITG first see what they will do for me. My Mech said the filter was filthy and i should change it straight away.

He has to clean it and re oil and re use.

TBC....

Certainly recommend cleaning them regularly, they get covered pretty quickly with the intake being so low. ITG's fit nice and snug so can only assume there was a fault?

[Bealo]

I'll bring it back to you to have a look then John as you supplied and fitted it for me!!!!

I recall s.mac bought a Pipercross filter a while back - not sure if he still uses it though?

[sailorbaz]

Glendog, mine was a fine fit and was the correct way round, sorry if I posted in error before.

It's still early days for mine at the moment but when I removed the airbox and had a sneaky peak the other day it was fine, nice a tight and still soaked in oil. Only about 1500 miles right enough.

Someone did buy a Pipercross recently, sure he'll be along soon.

Hey Guys, I already have a OEM BMC filter, like new for my intake, I am just curious about the pipercross. Would love to hear from someone who has used it.

What's the point?
Oem will allow enough air and filter properly???

[s.mac]

if you can get a supplier who can get one I'm sure they will be good quality

Well they are all over eBay so I was very curious and I dont mind experimenting. I guess i'll order one then.
