Just announced January 14th, 2021!!! Sorry... I'm a week late. I just discovered this today.
High performance intake filters for the F95/F96 X5/6M.... as well as the 2020+ G05/6/7 M50i variants (Yes, as I suspected months ago, they use the EXACT same intake system and filters). This filter set will fit:
2020+ X5 M50i
2020+ X6 M50i
2020+ X7 M50i
2021+ X5M (standard and Competition)
2021+ X6M (standard and Competition)
This does NOT fit the standard 50i. lots of choices for you guys though. This is specifically for the folks with the X5M intake system. I spent the money on a "hunch" for K&Ns, and tried installing 50i filters several months ago.... and then I documented the disaster that became of it. - LOL. I did discover the presence of the extra charcoal filters though, and I documented their removal.... That seemed to help a few people out at least. if you feel so inclined to read about it: https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1720045
But these???? We've been waiting for these a long time. I've been DEEPLY involved in trying to obtain a solution for quite some time now. K&N??? Screw K&N. I was a customer for 25 years, wrote them 3 times, and they won't even respond to an email. No.... they still don't offer one for our cars as of Jan 21st, 2020, and even if they did, they'll never get my business again anyway. I remember back when K&N didn't suck. Too bad they definitely do now.
BMC is a much smaller company, with much less money for R&D.... and yet they still managed to make a better, higher quality product than K&N.... and they did it first. They've got my vote from this day forward. BMC does not sell directly however.... you need to find a dealer.
I called my Tuner (BR-Performance) here in Belgium (who is a BMC dealer). Price was about 180 Euros for the set ($215-ish US Dollars).... which is most likely VERY high because I'm in Belgium. Everything is absurdly taxed here. In the US, they should be considerably less. It wouldn't surprise me if they were half that price in the US.
Nevertheless.... they are already on order. I'll install them when they arrive in a week or so!

Did BMC verify the fitment for the X5 M50i? We have all suspected this was the same filter size as the X5M, but with the different part numbers there has been some confusion.
