K&N Performance Air Filter N57 BMW F-Series

K&N Performance Drop-In Air Filter – 33-3028

The K&N 33-3028 is a high-flow, washable and reusable replacement air filter designed to slot directly into your existing factory airbox – no modifications needed. It replaces your standard paper air filter with a multi-layer oiled cotton gauze design that allows more air to flow into the engine, which can help improve throttle response and overall engine performance.

Unlike a standard disposable filter, this K&N filter is built to last the lifetime of your vehicle. Rather than replacing it every year or so, you simply clean and re-oil it when needed, making it a more cost-effective and environmentally considerate choice over the long term.

How it works

The filter uses several layers of cotton gauze treated with a specially formulated oil. This layered construction traps dust, dirt and other contaminants before they can reach the engine, while still allowing a greater volume of air to pass through compared to a standard paper filter. More clean air into the engine means it can work more efficiently, which is where the performance benefit comes from.

Key benefits

• Direct drop-in replacement – fits your factory airbox with no cutting or adapting required
• Washable and reusable – clean it periodically rather than replacing it
• Multi-layer oiled cotton gauze construction for effective filtration and improved airflow
• Backed by K&N’s lifetime limited warranty (limitations apply)
• Pre-oiled and ready to fit straight out of the box

Fitting is straightforward and is one of the simplest upgrades you can make to your vehicle. No specialist tools or mechanical expertise are required – if you can change a standard air filter, you can fit this one.
