These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Wanted to get some user feedback on the BMC line and specifically on the unit for the 996 airbox.

POST 2Original post

I have the BMC filter. You can here the difference using the stock airbox. Defenitely more air intact. Incombination with my re-mapped chip from Autothority, much more pull from 3500 and up.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Have you cleaned it yet? How well did it fit in the airbox?

POST 4Original post

What's a BMC filter and where do you get one? How much does it cost? Does it void the Porsche warranty? How does that help performance? I also heard that it causes one of the warning lights to go on. Is that true? Thanks

POST 5Original post

I've used a BMC filter for some time in my 99C2. I seriously doubt that it provides any meaningful performance gains and I personally did not hear any difference in sound (Fabspeeds may have covered the sound?) but it is a well made filter that fits perfectly in the original airbox. Oris, the BMC being refered to is just a filter element. I don't remember the price but it's not too expensive. It should not void your warranty but I suppose it could if it fails. I have had no problems with it triggering a warning light. You may be thinking of the Powerflow.

POST 6Original post

So then what is the benefit of using a BMC filter? Doesn't sound like it works any better than the stock unit, and yet it forces the issue of warranty if it ever becomes a problem.

POST 7Original post

I wouldn't go that far. I think the BMC filter is probably better than the stock unit. My point was just not to expect too much. There is no way an air filter is going to add noticeable performance to your car. Regarding the warranty, I really don't see it as an issue.
