Description
The BMC FM01222 is a high-performance replacement panel air filter designed for the BMW M 1000 RR. It is installed in the motorcycle’s original airbox in place of the OEM filter, requiring no changes or modifications to the bike. Made in Italy, the filter uses highly performing materials that allow an increased air flow combined with more efficient filtration, guaranteeing containment of impurities as small as 7 microns compared to the 10 microns of a standard OEM filter. BMC filters are made of a multi-layered cotton gauze soaked with low viscosity oil and covered with an epoxy-coated alloy mesh, which protects against petrol fumes and oxidization caused by air humidity. The filter is produced using BMC’s Full Moulding system, which forms the characteristic red filter from a single mould with no welded joints, helping it resist breakage. This single-piece construction provides a durable rubber surround that adheres well to the shape of the airbox. The filter is supplied pre-oiled and ready to install. Because it is washable and reusable, it can be cleaned and regenerated using the appropriate BMC regeneration kit, offering a long-term and performance-oriented alternative to disposable paper filters for this BMW superbike.
