Product Details:
Brand: RIDEX is a trusted aftermarket brand producing high-quality replacement components that meet OEM standards. The 8A0276 air filter is engineered to the exact specifications of the original BMW part, providing reliable engine protection and performance at a competitive price.
Filter Type: Filter Insert — this is a replacement filter element designed to sit within the existing airbox housing. No modifications are required; the filter drops directly into the factory airbox on the BMW X3 F25, making servicing straightforward and quick.
Dimensions: Length 352 mm × Width 292 mm × Height 101 mm. These precise dimensions ensure a perfect seal within the factory airbox, preventing unfiltered air from bypassing the filter element and reaching the engine's intake system.
Function: The air filter removes dust, pollen, road debris, and fine particulate matter from intake air before it enters the engine. A clean, unobstructed filter maintains the correct air-to-fuel ratio, protects mass airflow sensors, and preserves turbocharger and engine longevity. BMW recommends replacing the air filter at each major service interval.
OEM Reference Number: This filter is a direct equivalent to BMW OEM part number 13717811026. Verifying this number against your vehicle's service documentation confirms a precise match to the original BMW air filter specification.
