Sakura A-30290 Air Filter for BMW 3 Series (F30) & 3 Series GT (F34) Petrol | Premium Soft PU Frame | Replaces BMW 13717605644

Protect the precision of your Ultimate Driving Machine with the Sakura A-30290 Air Filter. Tailored for the BMW 3 Series (F30/F34), this filter is essential for maintaining the high-velocity airflow required by BMW’s 2.0L turbocharged petrol engines. Whether you are driving the 320i or the 328i, a clean air intake is vital for maintaining the engine’s signature responsiveness, fuel efficiency, and internal cooling.

The A-30290 features a high-performance Soft PU (Polyurethane) Frame.¹ In the high-heat environment of a turbocharged BMW engine bay, this Soft PU frame acts as a superior thermal gasket. It expands slightly under compression to create a 100% airtight seal against the airbox housing. This prevents “dirty air bypass,” ensuring that no abrasive particles or moisture reach the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or the delicate vanes of the turbocharger.
