Engineered for riders seeking aggressive power gains and immediate throttle response, the BMC Race Replacement Air Filter (Part # FM556/20RACE) is designed specifically for the 2014-2016 BMW S 1000 R. Unlike standard paper OEM filters, BMC’s Race version uses fewer cotton layers soaked in a low-viscosity oil, significantly increasing intake airflow directly to your engine while still retaining impurities as small as 7 microns.

Constructed using BMC’s signature "Full Moulding" technique, the red polyurethane frame is cast in a single mold with zero welded joints to prevent cracking or structural failure under track-level engine suction. The multi-layered cotton mesh is wrapped in an epoxy-coated alloy mesh, offering long-term protection against fuel vapors, humidity, and oxidation. Pre-oiled and built for direct factory airbox replacement, this race-spec filter delivers an instant airflow upgrade without requiring airbox modifications.

Best Uses
