CAR FILTERS

Performance
BMC air filters are designed and produced to ensure a higher air flow than original paper filters. In F1, for example, BMC cotton filters minimize the loss of air flow pressure passing through the air filter; this way ensures the best conditions for full exploitation of maximum power. Therefore the benefits of replacing the original paper filter with BMC cotton air filter, produced using the same technology and materials as the F1 air filters, are evident.

Design and Materials
Qualified engineers using advanced software and expert technicians using the latest technologies produce BMC air filters. An F1 filter must be very light, must be made of the best raw materials and must improve performance. For this reason we use only alloy mesh with epoxy coating to ensure protection from petrol fumes and from oxidization due to the humidity of the air. The filtering material is composed of a special cotton gauze soaked with low-viscosity oil to give you the best air permeability.

Advanced Technology
BMC technical staff has developed a particular production system based on soft rubber moulding which produces the familiar BMC red filters. They are made in one single piece with no welded joints in the corners, thus avoiding breaking risks. This system, called "Full Moulding" comes from R&D in F1 and it is significant of BMC air filters' technical and quality specifics.

Replacement air filters

BMC air filters are designed to replace the original paper filters in the vehicle air-box.

Installation is simple: open the air-box (1), remove the OEM filter (2), replace with the BMC filter (3). You’re Good to Go!

Why replace  your original air filter  with a BMC air filter?

• Long life: can be cleaned and reused, no replacement needed;
• Wider filtering surface;
• Maximum air permeability;
• Greater retention and screening;
• Better "Pressure Drop" ratio;
• International test approval; 

	HIGHEST QUALITY The BMC air filter is composed of a metallic mesh containing an oiled multilayer cotton filtration material. This guarantees a high level of filtering efficiency and a limited loss of air pressure. The oil used gives the material its “sticky” adhesive characteristic which aids in the retention of air impurities without compromising or blocking air flow penetration. This also creates a continuous filtering process. The cotton filtrating element is contained within an external support frame which interfaces with the air-box and allows it to be securely installed. Every stage of the production process, from design to manufacturing, is carried out in Italy by Italian engineers and uses the finest quality materials.
	BETTER THAN OEM FILTERS OEM paper filters present an elevated resistance to the passage of air and consequently a reduction in engine performance. The BMC air filter permits a notably higher air flow passage, producing less than half the Pressure Drop (the difference between the air pressure before and after the filter element) when compared to paper filters. The engine protection efficiency of the filter is ensured; thanks to the combination of the different oiled layers, containment of all impurities down to 7 microns is guaranteed whereas paper filters generally require total filtration of particles of 10 microns. Therefore BMC air filters allow more air into the engine in comparison to paper filters while providing better protection. In addition traditional paper filters must be replaced regularly during routine maintenance whereas the BMC air filter is reusable and has a general lifespan equal to that of the vehicle.
	ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMICAL BMC air filters are made of cotton, a natural material which can be reused several times. The air filter can be washed with a special detergent then re-oiled, thereby saving the cost of changing the air filter each time the vehicle is serviced and thus reducing environmental waste.
	RIGOROUS TESTING BMC operates in a number of areas: automotive, racing, aerospace, nautical and industrial, and according to the specific regulations and requirements of each sector. Consequently, BMC air filter testing is rigorous and thorough thereby ensuring a higher quality in respect to paper, foam and plastic materials. The technical solutions used by BMC are derived from the results of a continuous and intense programme of laboratory testing. BMC carries out filtration tests in accordance with the international standards for filtering (ISO 5011). BMC Air Filters have a 98.5% filtering efficiency in respect to this standard.
