My BMW air filter is made by Mahle and aftermarket Mahle filter is some if the best workmanship I have seen when it comes to filters.
Best air filter?
- Thread starter Toaster
- Start date
Also - I won't say this was "poor" but it certainly was odd.
Never seen construction like this - not sure what you call this levered over tab crimp on construction for the base plate. Not that it matters, just have never seen this before.
This is a cross for the ubiquitous 7317 size Nissan / Honda filter, FYI.

Idk what is going on there, but I get Mahle as it is only filter available for Euro air box on N52 engines and they are of impeccable quality.

Some people here said it was a likely a issue with the foam material chemistry - I forget their exact term. I had used many of these filters prior there Nissan OEM. The air was made in Mexico and the oil filter made in China.
What is the COO of the air filters you get. I agree this is very un-German like.
I have switched to Denso.
