Which filters? C63

[ecain63]

Thinking of upgrading the air filters. Who should I be looking at?

Oem

Really?? No better option?

I don't like K & N because the oil knackers MAF sensors. The marginal difference it might make on my 529 horses isn't worth it. I wouldn't bother.

BMC come highly recommended for the C63. Have a word with Olly at PCS.

Ask Olly about BMC air filters:

Without a bigger throttle body and remap not worth changing from OEM

 

[ecain63]

Cool. Thanks.

+1 BMC.
Have them on mine. So far so good....

+2 for BMC
Good enough for F1 and Rally teams.

The thing with oil off K&N and the like knackering MAF's is this just rumour or have there been documented cases?

I could understand if it if you over oiled but with normal levels it would be nigh on impossible IMO

Weistec ones on mine.

Not really sure if it makes any difference from OEM or any of the others but those Weistec chaps know there stuff when it comes to the C63 so thought i might as well give them some more money

And they are dry filters so no worries about oil on MAF's etc

Stick to oem on a stock car.

 

[Y8cel]

How much are new oem filters I have two done about 300 miles

 

[automaniaman]

+3 BMC. Had them fitted to my C63...

£25 for the pair.

 

[Y8cel]

Is that all

 

[markjay]

It's only paper, surrounded by a bit of plastic....

I used to contract for a factory that made filters. They buy massive rolls of filter paper then cut it to size, fold it, and cram it onto the frame... the difficult part was the visual inspection against a light source to ensure there are no gaps in the glued mating surfaces between the paper and the frame.

If your not tracking the car then OEM will be more than enough.
