Ramair Performance Induction Foam Air Filter Kit – BMW 116d, 118d, 120d & 123d (SR-156)
The Ramair SR-156 is a performance induction kit designed as a direct replacement for the standard airbox on BMW 1 Series diesel models. The factory air intake is built to a cost, which often means it restricts airflow more than necessary. This kit removes that restriction, allowing your engine to breathe more freely – which in turn can improve throttle response and release a little more power from your engine.
The centrepiece of the kit is Ramair’s twin-layer foam filter, made using their Aeriform foam and supported by a T304 stainless steel cage. Aeriform foam is a high-quality, open-cell foam material that allows strong airflow while still filtering out dirt and debris before it reaches the engine. The twin-layer design means you get the benefit of improved airflow without sacrificing the filtration your engine needs to stay healthy long term.
Importantly, this filter is MAF safe – meaning it is compatible with your car’s Mass Air Flow sensor (the sensor that measures incoming air and helps the engine management system run correctly). Some performance filters can interfere with MAF readings, so this is a worthwhile detail.
What’s Included
- Twin-layer Aeriform foam performance filter with T304 stainless steel cage
- All fitting hardware – clips, brackets, and bolts needed for installation
- Replaces the standard OEM (factory) airbox entirely
Maintenance
Unlike paper filters that need replacing, the Ramair foam filter can be cleaned with hot soapy water and reused. It’s a straightforward process and keeps ongoing costs low. The filter is 100% hand made in the UK and carries a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects.
