INEOS AIR FILTER PART NUMBERS (also Air Cabin filter)

[LeeroyJ]

BACKGROUND
The Table lists possible third-party suppliers of air filters for the INEOS Grenadier B57 Diesel Motor (the air filter is also used on the B58 NEEDS CONFRIMATION).

When in doubt use the INEOS air filter. The INEOS filter is 68mm thick. The 68mm includes the rubber/silicone seal on the top of the filter. Some other BMW air filters are the same shape but a different thickness.

AIR FILTER (ENGINE BAY)

BRAND	PART NO:	MADE IN/COMMENT
INEOS	GRA-3B02-008230 OEM EI-0000008230	Air filter made in Romania, by Mahle. Images here thanks to @Tinki
K&N FILTERS	There has been issues with K&N filter being used on BMW motors, for example here. Therefore, I will not list a K&N filter part number.
MAHLE	LX3985/1	Thanks to @ninetubes here. Air filter made in Romania.
RYCO	Do not buy it. Not compatible with the Grenadier. See review below. Made in Bulgaria.
WESFIL	WA5440	Do not buy it. The air filter is only 58mm thick, whereas the OEM filter is 68mm thick. I can only go on website descriptions say, and they are saying 58mm.
WIX	WA10422

CABIN AIR FILTER

1. INEOS Part Number: GRA-2G00-030270;
2. RYCO Part Number: RCA451M. The dimensions are very close to the INEOS cabin air filter. Being a shade thicker it is a tight fit and harder to fit than the OEM, but it fits; and
3. WIX Part Number 24255.

On the K&N filter, I've been running it with no issues on the B58. The issues reported for the diesel B57 (seems to be the MAS getting toasted due to over-oiling the filter) don't apply to the petrol B58. The Supra guys with the B58 seem to use the K&N frequently. and I haven't seen any reports of problems on those forums, same for the BMW B58 forums (I don't see any reported problems).

Given how often I need to change filters due to dust, the ability to clean and re-use the K&N filter is a big bonus. I did not switch to it for performance gains (as I doubt there are any), rather just for the ability to re-use.

See my previous post. A dry filer has all the benefits, and no oil to possibly mess with MAF. I have the aFe in 3 of my current vehicles, and have used them in 6-8 different vehicles in the past. I vacuum them once a month, and wash them every 2 months.

I have ordered this to see if it fits:

To replace the air filter? What are they charging for the whole 12K service?

Not sure including labor (I want to do the service myself) but the parts (oil, filter, gear oil, ac filter) are $381. Although they want $89 for the hvac filter which is crazy. Prices for everything else is reasonable.

I had my dealer change the cabin air filter last week during an oil change and that turned out to be a $150 decision. I need to start doing the service myself.

I'm still looking for an aftermarket cabin air filter. Can anyone confirm that WIX Part Number 24255 actually fits? WIX website says that this fits a huge number of BMW's and Porsches so there should be plenty of other cabin filters that we can cross reference to. I'm just looking for someone who has actually used this WIX part number.

I ordered one yesterday from Amazon, when it arrives, I'll check and report back. Even though I just had the dealer replace it last week (for $150) I want to confirm they actually did a replacement because the air from the AC still smells pretty dusty to me.

Here is the link to Amazon.
