    Does anyone have any experience with these?

    The BMC Carbon Racing Filter is a $645.00 option.

    While the Ferrari 458 Italia - BMC Air Filter is $295.00.

    In my Italia I had the BMC Air Filter because everyone told me it was better, but I never heard of this new one?

    It is the same filter as the BMC Air Filter but with a carbon frame: i have it in my car
    for about 2 years now and highly recommend it: deeper sound and better performance!

    Only one filter is necessary, correct?

    Will this be suitable for the Speciale as well?

    Yes only one filter is necessary, and suitable for the Speciale.

    The best feature is that it adds a lot of sound depth (15% more airflow): check
    out the depth of the sound at near idle at the beginning of the video:

    So we purchase a $500k car and for some reason we think the filter needs a different design ... weird.

    Stupid Ferrari, all that expertise and they cannot design an air filter!@! ... should have bought a GM/Ford

    Only BMC Carbonfibre airbox gives about 15% more air flow than stock paper filter.
    I have it on my car and measured the airflow by the service own equipment and have measured 754 and 752 kg of air/hour on each cyclinder bank.

    Service tech told me that they have seen 650-660 kg of air/hour on original box/filter at the highest.

    Hi all,

    Evan actually isn't with the company any longer (he left on good terms for anyone wondering!). For pricing feel free to email me directly [email protected], or our general sales inbox, [email protected] and I will forward it to the appropriate people.

    Thank you all for your continued support.
