Don't let the chiseled good looks of the luxurious BMW M-Series fool you, these things are out to kick butt, and they don't care what your name is. BMW first used the M badge in 1987, and it has continued to evolve into a dominantly powerful and luxurious sports car series. Did we mention powerful?

The highest-performance version of BMW's big two-door has replaced its V10 engine in favor of a new 4.4-liter V8 equipped with M TwinPower Turbo Technology. Despite surrendering two cylinders, the new V8 develops a total of 560 horsepower and a peak torque of 500 lb-ft. The V8 is teamed up with BMW's newly developed 7-speed double-clutch transmission which is designed to handle the high torque and high revving nature of the engine. The M5 uses the same essential powertrain. BMW puts the 0-60 time at a brisk 4.1 seconds.

These impressively fast and stylish vehicles deserve respect, by simply replacing the existing air filters with a K&N 33-2488 air filter set, you will immediately show your BMW how much you care. K&N's high performance, high-flow air filters can increase both horsepower and torque, while at the same time providing outstanding engine protection. And, the two K&N air filters that come as a set are designed to fit into the existing factory air boxes without any modifications.

K&N's specially pleated, high-flow filter design creates a large surface area, allowing the K&N air filters in part 33-2488 to continue to perform perfectly for extended maintenance intervals. Depending on your driving conditions, servicing intervals can reach up to 50,000 miles. When filter maintenance is called for, cleaning the air filter is as trouble-free as following the four easy steps on a K&N Recharger Kit.

K&N 33-2488 high performance, reusable air filters, will be the only air filters that you'll need to purchase for your 2011-2016 BMW M3, M4, M5 or M6 ever, as supported by K&N's celebrated Million Mile Limited Warranty.

2009-2016 Yamaha XT250 Improves Overall Performance with K&N Air Filter

K&N Replacement Air Filter for Yamaha XT250
K&N Replacement Air Filter for Yamaha XT250
Many motorcycles tag themselves dual-purpose or dual-sport, but most of those are really only comfortable as a single purpose. A bike that truly feels at home, on and off-road, with the same degree of confidence is rare. The versatile Yamaha XT250 is that exception, and the dual sport character of the XT250 has earned it legions of fans since its introduction in 2009, because it's equally at adept on the road or open trail.

Some of the bikes off-road features include a long-travel suspension that provides more than 11.2 inches of ground clearance and a seat that's only 31.9 inches up from the ground. For 2013 the engine remains essentially unchanged from last year's model, a 249cc air-cooled SOHC engine paired with a five-speed transmission.

One of the most significant changes for the 2013 XT's is a fuel injection system which replaces the earlier model's 33mm Teikei carburetor. There's also a slightly larger gas tank (2.6 vs. 2.4 gallons on the 2012 model). Yamaha claims that thanks to the new fuel injection system the XT now offers better fuel economy.

Regardless whether you ride on paved or dirt roads, your Yamaha XT250 deserves an overall boost in performance along with exceptional engine protection, and the new K&N YA-2509 air filter delivers on both. By simply upgrading the existing air filter with a K&N YA-2509 high flow air filter, you can gain performance while insuring that your engine receives outstanding protection. The best part is it's easy. The YA-2509 reusable air filter is designed to fit directly into the OE filter box, without the need for any modifications.

If your daily commute is across town, servicing intervals can go up to 50,000 miles before maintenance is necessary. When used in dusty or off-road environments, our filters will require cleaning more often. Once the screen of the motorcycle air filter is no longer visible and cleaning is finally needed, it's as easy as following the four simple steps on a K&N Recharger Kit.

This K&N air filter for Yamaha XT250 motorcycles will allow your bike to take in air with little restriction allowing it to run at it's best.

K&N YA-2509 fits the following Yamaha models:
2016 YAMAHA XT250 250
2015 YAMAHA XT250 250
2014 YAMAHA XT250 250

In the spring of 2012, at the Auto China show, Mercedes-Benz provided its first glimpse of the CLA-Class to an enthusiastic public. Those viewing the new car were immediately taken by its progressive design, sporty proportions and muscular lines. Less than a year later the CLA was formally launched at North American International Auto Show. The new compact four-door sedan is based on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class compact and the B-Class compact model platform. The CLA clearly follows in the CLS's very large footprints, as the CLS has been one of the most imitated models ever since its debut.

The new CLA is being assembled in the Mercedes-Benz factory in Kecskemet, Hungary. Dubbed the "baby CLS", the CLA models are priced and geared towards attracting younger buyers. All CLA-Class models are powered by four-cylinder engines, including a choice of 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter gasoline version listed below, or a choice of highly efficient diesels which can use the K&N high flow 33-2995 air filter. The 1.6-liter turbo gasonline engine is available in the CLA 200 and it's capable of outputting 154 horsepower at 5300 rpm. The more powerful alternative, the CLA 250 with the 2.0-liter turbo, reaches 207 horsepower at 5500 rpm. And now every model listed can improve on both horsepower and torque, by simply upgrading the air to a K&N 33-2995 reusable air filter.

K&N's high flow air filter instantly increases overall performance, while providing excellent engine protection at the same time, and it's designed to simply fit into the existing factory air box, without any modifications of any kind required.

K&N's pleated, high flow filter is designed to give your Mercedes Benz more power and torque and the 33-2995 air filter has a long maintenance interval. Depending on your driving environment, servicing intervals can reach up to 50,000 miles. When filter maintenance is finally called for, cleaning the air filter is as trouble-free using a K&N Recharger Kit.

The K&N 33-2995 high performance, reusable air filter, will be the only air filter you'll ever need to purchase for your Mercedes-Benz because K&N upholds that promise with their famous Million Mile Limited Warranty.

2011-2016 Jeep Patriot, Compass and Dodge Caliber 4-Cylinder Models Get Power Gaining Accessory

K&N Air Intake under the hood of Jeep Patriot, Compass and Dodge Caliber
K&N Air Intake under the hood of Jeep Patriot, Compass and Dodge Caliber
The 2011 to 2013 Jeep Patriot, Compass and the 2011 to 2016 Dodge Caliber come with two 4-cyliner engine choices, a 2.0 liter or a 2.4 liter. Even though all three vehicles may look different on the outside, when it comes to the power plant under the hood, they all have the same setup. The benefit here is this gives owners of these vehicles the same options when it comes to performance modifications.
K&N Air Intake System for Jeep Patriot, Compass and Dodge Caliber
K&N Air Intake System for Jeep Patriot, Compass and Dodge Caliber


K&N offers the 63-1567 air intake system for all three vehicles and this air intake fits both 4-cyliner engine options. The 63-1567 comes with all the necessary components needed to make this an easy to install air intake system. This air intake can be installed in less than 90 minutes using the tools that are listed on the installation instructions. Bolting on this intake is an easy way to add an estimated 6.3 horsepower at 4397 rpm and 5.2 feet pounds of torque at 3463 rpm.

The 63-1567 air intake system includes a high density polyethylene air intake tube that is designed specific to the Patriot, Compass and Caliber's engine bay setup. The molded air intake tube was designed with a threaded NPT fitting to reattach the crank case vent hose and a spot for the air intake temperature sensor. Also included is a heat shield and heat shield lid. The heat shield is designed to help keep the cool outside air blocked from the engine compartment's hot air. In addition, the heat shield has an air inlet area for the stock air inlet tube. The heat shield lid acts as a dual purpose component, first by acting as the elctronic control unit (ECU) mount and second by blocking more of that hot under hood air.

Stuttgart-based Mercedes-Benz has the world's longest diesel history, which shouldn't come as a surprise, being that they're the same folks who also have the longest car tradition. It was in 1936 when MB first introduced the 260D, a car way ahead of the curve, delivering spirited performance and better mpg's from diesel, a fuel that had never before powered a car. Next came the first turbo diesel in 1977, followed by the common rail direct injection in 1997 and, as is their nature, Mercedes continues to reinvent the alternative fuel that offers higher torque and efficiency with up to 30% lower greenhouse-gas emissions than gasoline

The newest evolution of the diesel tradition, the BlueTEC models offered today are simply the world's most advanced diesels available, offering ultra-low emissions, high fuel economy and responsive performance. BlueTEC denotes engines equipped with advanced NOx reducing technology which includes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. In Europe, where roughly half of new vehicles sell with diesel engines, Mercedes offers several of the fuel sippers, including the 2.1 and 1.8-liter engines listed in the models below. The turbocharged 2.1-liter inline-four diesel makes 190 horsepower and 1.8-liter variant measures up with about 136 horsepower. Both engines produce impressive response around town; they're unruffled on the highway, and boast mileage figures up into the hybrid range. The good news is the demand for these extremely frugal, yet powerful diesel engines has spread to the U.S., where the 2.1-liter engine is now available in the 2013 GLK-Class.

The new Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, as well as the A and B-Class are all built on the same compact car platform and their diesel engines have inspired drivers in the U.K. and throughout Europe for the past couple of years. And now both diesel engine options can instantly, and effortlessly, improve overall performance with a K&N 33-2996 reusable air filter upgrade.

K&N's performance air filter can increase both horsepower and torque, while at the same time providing exceptional engine protection. Plus it's designed to simply fit into the existing factory air box, just like a disposable paper filter.

K&N's specially pleated high flow design creates a large surface area, allowing the K&N 33-2996 air filter to perform flawlessly for extended maintenance intervals. Depending on your driving conditions, servicing intervals can go up to 50,000 miles. Then, when filter maintenance is necessary, cleaning the air filter is as simple as following the four easy steps on a K&N Recharger Kit.

The K&N 33-2996 reusable air filter will be the last air filter you'll ever need to purchase for your Mercedes-Benz - K&N maintains that pledge with their celebrated Million Mile Limited Warranty.
