BMW 8 Series Air Filter Replacement Parts

Yes, every variant of the BMW 8 Series has an air filter regardless of engine or drivetrain — all petrol and diesel internal combustion engines require one to filter intake air, and even the M850i and M8 high-performance variants are no exception. The xDrive all-wheel-drive models and rear-wheel-drive models alike all use one, so this is a part you can search for with confidence across the range.

The current G15 8 Series Coupé (and G14 Cabriolet, G16 Gran Coupé) generation ran from 2018 onwards, so a 2019 and a 2022 car are within the same generation — however, fitment is determined by engine code above all else, not the year alone. If both cars share the same engine code (for example both being the B58 3.0-litre six-cylinder), the filter is very likely the same, but you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration to be certain, as there can be mid-production specification changes.

No, trim level does not affect air filter fitment — M Sport is a cosmetic and suspension package, not a different engine, so if an M Sport and a non-M Sport share the same engine code they use the same filter. The M850i and M8 do use different, more powerful engines with their own specific filters, so the distinction there is the engine code rather than the badge or trim name. Always confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and give that to the breaker.

Body style does not affect air filter fitment — the G15 Coupé and G16 Gran Coupé share the same engine family, so if your Gran Coupé and a Coupé both carry the same engine code, the filter will be the same part. The body style difference is irrelevant for a mechanical intake component like this, so focus on matching the engine code when sourcing from a breaker.

No — the M8 uses the S58 twin-turbocharged straight-six (petrol) which is a different engine from the B58 in the 840i or the B57 diesel in the 840d, so the air filter housings and filter elements are specific to each engine code. You should tell the breaker which engine code your car has, which you can find on your V5 document or via a VIN check, rather than going by the badge alone.

The G-generation 8 Series received a facelift update, but whether any changes to the air filter arrangement were made during the production run is something to confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume either way. The engine code remains the primary guide — if the engine code is unchanged across the facelift, the filter is very likely compatible, but a breaker can cross-reference your exact VIN to be sure before you buy.
