Mahle air filters are made of high-quality materials and are made according to ISO standards and are also regularly checked for correct functioning and quality by the German TÜV Süd. Furthermore, the air filters meet the requirements set by the motorcycle manufacturers. Replacing your BMW K100RT's air filter is relatively easy to do yourself and no adjustment is required.

Note: It is a misconception that K&N perform better because they have a higher airflow. It is indeed true that they pass air better than MIW or original brand air filters. However, this is detrimental to the petrol/mixture if the motorcycle is not adjusted differently. The problem is that this reduced air resistance of K&N and BMC air filters creates a negative pressure. This underpressure makes the mixture leaner and the combustion temperature rises, which can be harmful to your motorcycle. Certainly with carbureted motorcycles, this will lead to poorer running of the motorcycle (inject motorcycles with a lamda probe largely correct this themselves). At MIW, the specifications of the manufacturers are adhered to, so that re-tuning your motorcycle is not necessary, as is the case with K&N air filters.
