Euro Box Air Filter Replacement 328i N52

jadams161 · 05-08-2023, 06:56 PM

I recently purchased a Euro air filter box for my 2011 328i. What is the best retailer for stock type air filters? Mahle or Mann. Ebay? Amazon?
I know I can go K&N for $90...

Thanks

I got mine from RockAuto

MAHLE / CLEVITE LX1035

But it appears to be out of stock, even on amazon.com

Yeah I saw that.. might just bite the bullet and get K&N.. or get a few off brand from AliExpress..

I had a Mann paper one before seemed good quality. But I've had k&n for a while now and remember noticing the sound difference in intake and exhaust tone slightly. In short I'd buy one again

Definitely go K&N.

Oof I'll have to pick some up then when they pop back up, I've been buying the Mahle off Amazon for years.

Edit:
Looking up the part number (either BMW's or Mahle's) on eBay yields some Euro retailers. I just bought one.

Can you let us know the production date and country of origin? I read that Mahle moved production to China sometime in April 2021

I have purchased this one from Amazon, although I have several Bosch filters that I purchased back when they were available.

Supposedly you can order the Mann C18114 filter from WalMart

Amazon also lists the Bosch version, but I purchased mine on Ebay.

Went with the K&N. 2 paper filters shipped is more than one K&N.. I thought the Mahle would be easier and cheaper to get.

I forgot to check the date but the one I received was made in Austria

It used to be, someone was selling them for $25 out the door on Amazon for years.

This is the way to go, it pays its self off after 2-3 swaps.
