Bmc filter

Hey , what you guys think of BMC Filters?

still crap?? Ive seen the old thread of them melting down…i gotten them for free brand new and have them in for 2000km right now but im about to toss them out after seeing those meltdowns!

Now got me debating wether i should get the eventuri intakes still or just leave this thing stock !

The outer part dried up and was brittle. This came from my 2017 C63 so it's probably due to aging. I would say 33k miles in total on it
and cleaned twice. K&N last longer than it

To be honest the filter still did its job and I felt no loss in power. Inside of my airbox was pretty clean. As of right now I'm using Weistec drop in filter. Still waiting for Warranty to expire in August then I'll go Weistec or Eventuri full air intake kit

I'm in California and modifying/tampering with anything emissions or related to smog is illegal. Mercedes knew I added a drop in filter and didn't give me any warranty issue but they said a full kit will

guys , i just swapped out the bmc filters for the oem and the OEM filters are a perfect fit with no wiggle room or chance anything passes through!

i am in shock how the bmc filters had wiggle room ! Crazy stuff ! Debris and **** is forsure getting through those BMC air filters !

i dont think so...So many people ride BMC and no one has had any problems yet. Of course the series filter filters more like the BMC, but I don't think that any real dirt gets through.

i dont mean exactly through the filter part but more around it . If you compare the oem filters to the bmc , they fit completely different , way more of a tight fit !
but im hoping no dirt gets threw cus ive had them on! Anyways about to buy the eventuri intake anyways
