BMC Air Filter FB140/01 – Porsche 986 Boxster 2.5/2.7L & Boxter S 3.2L Performance Panel Filter

High-performance BMC FB140/01 washable cotton air filter for Porsche Boxster (986). Direct OEM-replacement panel filter designed to increase airflow, improve filtration, and deliver long-term reusable performance.

Product Description

The BMC FB140/01 Performance Air Filter is a high-flow, direct-replacement panel filter engineered specifically for the Porsche Boxster 986 platform. Designed to replace the factory paper air filter, it improves airflow while maintaining superior filtration efficiency for both road and performance driving.

Manufactured in Italy using BMC’s advanced Full Moulding technology, the FB140/01 features multi-layer oiled cotton gauze supported by an epoxy-coated alloy mesh. This construction allows significantly increased airflow compared with traditional paper filters while capturing particles as small as 7 microns to protect the engine.

Unlike disposable filters, the BMC FB140/01 is fully washable and reusable, making it a long-term performance upgrade that reduces maintenance costs while improving engine breathing and throttle response.

The filter installs directly into the factory airbox with no modifications required, making it an easy upgrade for Porsche owners looking to improve performance and filtration without altering the original intake system.

Used across top levels of motorsport, BMC filtration technology delivers proven performance benefits for both road and track vehicles.
