Upgrade your LP Gallardo’s intake system with BMC’s F1 air filter — a performance-grade, washable and reusable solution that drops directly into the factory airbox. Crafted with a full-moulded soft-rubber frame and a multi-layer, oiled cotton-gauze filter medium, it significantly improves airflow over stock paper filters. The result is sharper throttle response, more consistent airflow under load, and improved engine breathing — giving your V10 a more responsive feel and unlocking the potential for smoother power delivery, especially when combined with other mods.
Compatible with Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2, LP560, and LP570 models 2009-2013
Direct drop-in replacement for the factory air filter — no modifications to the airbox required.
Sold as a pair of air filter panels (for both intake channels / sides as required).
Two (2) BMC F1 air filter elements (left and right, as required by the Gallardo airbox)
Pre-oiled cotton-gauze media ready for immediate use (no need to oil before first install) — standard for BMC filters.
Filter media: Multi-layer oiled cotton gauze, supported inside an alloy mesh screen for rigidity and protection.
Frame type: Soft-rubber full-moulded frame — designed to create a tight seal in the OEM airbox and avoid cracking or deterioration over time.
Airflow benefit: Compared to paper filters, BMC filters offer up to ~40% greater airflow, reducing restriction and enabling more efficient air intake.
Filtration efficiency: Designed to filter particles down to ~7 microns, offering effective protection while minimizing pressure drop.
Reusable: Washable and re-oil-able — lifetime-use capability when maintained properly.
Improved airflow and engine breathing — Higher permeability medium and reduced restriction let your V10 inhale more air, benefiting throttle response and combustion efficiency.
Reusable & maintenance-friendly — Washable cotton-gauze media means lower long-term maintenance costs compared to disposable paper filters.
Better filtration while delivering flow — The multi-layer gauze and mesh support provide fine filtration without sacrificing airflow — ideal balance for both street and performance use.
Tight, OEM-style fitment — The full-moulded rubber frame seals precisely in the stock airbox for a secure, vibration-resistant installation and reliability even under high load.
Foundation for further mods — Upgrading the intake filter helps support subsequent engine or exhaust upgrades by reducing intake restriction, making other parts more effective.
