Ok so I know the aFe Pro-Dry "drop in" filter is all over this forum, but I'm still confused as to the correct filter for my 2016 F56 JCW. Even when I go to aFe's web site I get a "Magnum Flow". I'm simply trying to make sure I buy the right one this time (I ordered the wrong one for my wife"s CMS All-4). Yes, I feel like a bit of an idiot, but is the link below the correct aFe Pro-dry "drop in" filter? Part #30-10256? I'd also like to buy it from Amazon (tons of gift cards) but I read here that their part numbers are incorrect?

Again it's just an aFe Pro-Dry drop in for my '16 F56 JCW.

We stock the correct dry air filter you need

Thank you. How is the sound? That's basically why I want one. I want to hear those turbos spooling. Also what about my Mini Bluetooth exhaust? Any sound increase caused by the drop in filter? I'm not even sure if it works like that. I'm not real good on anything too technical. Hell I don't even know which cover to remove to get to my ECU.

I DO however know how to detail a car. I was told on my bimmerpost forum I have "professional" type detail skills, by the 4-5 professionals on that site. Every thing else.....I rely on people like you.

 

I've not noticed more noise with it or the K&N drop in filters since they are still in the stock airbox.
If you want more sound an intake like our WMW one will give you that and be cost effective

We've installed a few of the JCW tuning kits with the exhaust and they sound awesome, can't go wrong there.

But we also offer the Remus which is way more cost effective

or the AWE exhaust, but it doesn't have the open/close valve

wait wait wait. So all the 3rd gen Mini's use the same factory intake/filter no matter the engine? From 3 cylinder to my 2.0L JCW engine?

I was looking to get a drop in to help a touch with sound but looking into this I can't fathom how they could all use the same filter? In that case there must be at least some gains on the stronger cars with a different intake, no?

 

Yup they got the same airbox.
