BMW Air Filter 13717503141 For BMW 3' E46 318Ci N42 N46 N45 316i N46 N42 Fitment.
✅ Description
- 13717503141 (or 13-71-7-503-141) is a genuine OEM air-filter element / air-intake filter designed for certain petrol engines of BMW.
- As an engine air filter, its main job is to filter intake air — removing dust, debris, and impurities before the air enters the engine. This protects the engine internals, ensures efficient combustion, proper airflow, and helps maintain engine longevity.
- According to a vendor listing, physical dimensions for compatible aftermarket filters approximating 13717503141 are: outer diameter ~ 170–171 mm, inner diameter ~ 69–70 mm, and height ~ 94–97 mm.
🚗 Fitment — Which Cars / Engines It Suits
13717503141 is primarily used in various versions of the BMW 3 Series (E46) (petrol) — including multiple body types.
Typical compatible variants:
- 316i / 316ti (with 4-cyl petrol engines, engine codes N40, N42, N46, etc.)
- 318i / 318ti / 318Ci (similarly 4-cyl petrol)
- Applies to multiple body styles: sedan (saloon), touring (wagon), compact (hatchback), coupe & cabrio (where relevant) — depending on engine & production year.
Important: This air filter is for petrol 4-cyl engines (N40 / N42 / N46 / N45, etc.) of E46 series. If your BMW uses a different engine (e.g. diesel, 6-cyl petrol, or different generation), 13717503141 may not fit. Always confirm with VIN / engine code before ordering.
