BMW Air Filter Adapter – M50 MAF Cone Filter Adapter
This custom air filter adapter allows you to install a cone-style air filter directly onto the BMW M50 2.5L MAF sensor, while maintaining proper clearance from the factory heat shield.
The angled design was developed specifically to avoid contact with the heat shield, solving the common issue found with straight adapters that can rattle or interfere under engine movement.
Designed for real engine bay use and printed from ASA, making it suitable for high-temperature environments.
