BMC Performance Air Filter | Porsche 911 2.7 / Carrera RS 2.7 1972-1979 | Sold Each
BMC FB232/07 Replacement Air Filter is BMC's cylindrical element for the 2.7-litre air-cooled 911, Carrera RS included. It fits the original air cleaner housing with no modification and replaces the paper element permanently.
BMC is the oiled-cotton option, made in Italy. Multi-layered cotton gauze soaked in low-viscosity oil, wrapped in an epoxy-coated alloy mesh that resists petrol fumes and humidity. BMC rates the media at 7 microns against roughly 10 for OEM paper. Supplied pre-oiled and regenerated with a BMC cleaning kit rather than thrown away. Apply oil sparingly at service time.
Key Benefits:
- Higher airflow than the original paper filter, with finer filtration
- Traps particles down to 7 microns — OEM paper is rated around 10
- Cylindrical element sized to the original air cleaner housing
- Multi-layered cotton gauze in epoxy-coated alloy mesh, supplied pre-oiled
- Full Moulding construction — one-piece red rubber frame, no welded joints to split
- Washable and regenerable with a BMC cleaning kit
Compatible Vehicles:
- Porsche 911 2.7 / Carrera RS 2.7 — 1972–1979
Note: BMC lists FB232/07 without a multi-filter annotation — it is supplied as a single filter. Cross-references Porsche 901 108 955 11. Clean and re-oil at service intervals with a BMC regeneration kit; use BMC filter oil only and apply it sparingly. Let the element dry fully before refitting.
