Alpina Purolator Air Filter Housing help

[Nicholas Grosso]

Hello all,

I'm looking for the purolator filter used in the e9 B2's. I will attach a picture. Does anyone have one or a lead to where I may be able to find one? Thanks.

The Purolator ones are crap, you want the Mahle LX 252

Ummm Alpina? Pics? Welcome to the forum.

Not sure Steve, but Nicholas probably is looking for the whole filter assembly incl. filter case & connecting rubber hose.

Maybe it will help in search - filter case is from e9 3.0 csi & injected csl, from time to time they are on ebay (pretty rare & pricey).

Thank you guys. Found one from a member here. Restoring an e24 with a B2 motor.

Thank you. It's Fjord Blue

actually looks better than most fjord color versions that i've seen. perhaps its just the particular formula of the paint. it kind of reminded me of the e21 323i that is stratos blue ... but i see the e21 has a little more yellow in the blue than yours.
