Air filter to 350i -87?

[Hansw]

In the "part listing" under "maitenance". K &N E2029 is recommended. This productnumber is not known in Sweden. Any alternatives known???

Hi, and a warm welcome to you Hans.
Don't know the part number but if you have the standard foam one, just pop it in the wash and then dry it out. Alternately you could fit a non standard conical one - someone will post more detail I'm sure.

I got a K & N one for my 87 350i last year from Rimmer Bros, though, it didn't quite fit... I had to make a circular packing ring to take up the slack.

Hi Hans,
If your foam is in the same crumbling state as it was on the wedge I just bought you had best take it off with Mrs Hans,s vacuum cleaner.
I threw mine away. then removed the cage which left me with a nice spooled flange I refitted the flange back with short bolts think they were m6. then a trip down the the local boy racer shop and i had a nice 'good for 500bhp' air filter that fit perfectly.
