Hi! I can see on the filter box it’s a pipe that goes on the side (to the fender) I don’t have that on my 1996 E39 and I believe what you have there is a “fix” for an old issue: the air intake is quite low and I think the tube you have might provide a higher intake in some cases. I had my engine sucking water from a not so deep flood (not a catastrophic failure, luckily). Can you see if it’s just a pipe with no valves? Where does it go? I wonder if I can apply this “fix” to my air box… Thanks!
Mann filter $14.00 not bad,Thanks
I use K&N air filters in my M5, Robert does in his other 525i, and Colton does in his 2001 540i. They’re a solid product, I think we would all recommend one to you!
We don’t have any experience with the induction kit though, at least, as of now.
Good luck!
hi guys
im thinking of buying the K&N air filter for my 525i

I believe you are referring to the two cabin air filters.
Those are the housings for the cabin air filters
What are those 2 boxes up in the back of the bonnet?
