Tapping the knowledge base here (no luck on the BMW boards).

I need help identifying my K&N air filter element on my 1975 BMW 2002 so I can get a replacement (versus cleaning). My car was rebuilt in 1989, so that year is the only clue I have to go on. No visible part number. Already contacted K&N guys - they have no clue. PO doesnt remember either. Not sure if it is an automotive type, or industrial, or marine type. Anyone have any ideas on how to identify this and find a replacement? Thanks... Steve

Try a Harley Davidson Motorcylce shop.

or

K&N Universal Fliters

Look at the 6" long varities

Is there any reason you need that exact filter? K&N can supply a number of filter that have the same diameter rubber boot as that filter

I dont think I need the same exact size - just really want to find a suitable replacement. K&N didnt make any suggestions though. But, I'm going to give them another try based on the suggestions provided here. Thanks guys!.... Steve
