K&N High-Flow Panel Air Filter for BMW M340i (G20/G21) & M440i (G22/G23) – B58 3.0L
Part No: 33-3136 Quantity Required: 1 (Filters are sold individually)
Your G20 M340i or G22 M440i is everything a modern BMW should be – sharp, brutally fast in the real world and powered by the incredible B58 3.0-litre turbo straight-six. But even this engine is still trying to breathe through a restrictive, disposable paper filter designed around cost and emissions, not enthusiasts.
It’s time to let the B58 breathe properly. The K&N High-Flow Panel Air Filter is the ideal “first mod” for any M340i or M440i. It’s a direct drop-in replacement for the factory paper element, engineered to improve airflow, sharpen response and support more power – while being the last air filter you’ll ever need to buy for the car.
Using K&N’s multi-layered, oiled cotton gauze, this filter flows significantly more air than the stock paper filter while still providing excellent filtration. In the real world, that means a more eager throttle, stronger mid-range surge and a crisper induction note when you lean on that straight-six.
Unlike the disposable OEM filter, the 33-3136 is fully washable and reusable. When it gets dirty, you simply clean and re-oil it using a K&N service kit and refit – no more throwing away money on new filters at every service.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Unlocks Performance: Increased airflow to your B58 3.0L turbo engine, helping to support gains in horsepower and torque over the restrictive OE paper filter.
-
Sharper Throttle Response: Noticeably more eager pick-up and improved turbo spool, especially in the mid-range where you spend most of your time on the road.
-
Reusable, Long-Life Design: Fully washable and reusable – clean, re-oil and refit instead of replacing, saving you money over the lifetime of the vehicle.
-
Direct Drop-In Replacement: Designed to fit perfectly into the standard airbox on G20/G21 M340i and G22/G23 M440i models – no cutting, drilling or extra hardware required.
-
Excellent Engine Protection: Multiple layers of oiled cotton gauze create a dense filtration mesh that captures harmful particles while still flowing far more air than paper.
-
Extended Service Intervals: Under normal road use, the filter can go up to around 50,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions.
-
Ideal Supporting Mod for Tuning: Perfect partner for Stage 1 and Stage 2 ECU remaps, exhaust and intercooler upgrades – removing a key restriction from the intake side.
MSL Recommends
Your B58 engine uses a single panel filter in the factory airbox, so you only need one (1) of these filters per car.
We especially recommend this upgrade if:
-
You’re planning or already running a remap on your M340i or M440i.
-
You want a simple, OEM-style upgrade you can feel every day, with no extra noise or “boy racer” look under the bonnet.
For best results and longevity, we also recommend keeping a K&N cleaning and re-oil kit so you can service the filter correctly and keep it performing at its best for the life of the vehicle.
