BMC was
found in 1973 and until 1991 was essentially a motorcycle
accessories distributor.
Some of the brands traded were Yoshimura, Bridgestone and
Kayaba.
Since 1991 BMC started also distributing technical products
for cars: some of his first customers have been Cosworth and
Ferrari.
In 1995 BMC started producing his own
air filters due to an inquiry of F1 air filters from Ferrari
Team.
From race air filters starting manufacturing air filters for
street cars is easy.
Now BMC range includes panel sport air filters, conical air
filters, direct induction kits and Carbon Airbox.
Main BMC's aims are product quality and enlarging the products
range in the quickest way.
BMC air filters are designed and produced by Italian Engineers
to be used in extreme conditions and to give you the highest
performance.
Since 1996 BMC air filters have
equipped some of the most important Teams in F1 and American
Le Mans Series like Ferrari, Toyota, Williams BMW, Prost,
Sauber, Minardi, Porsche and Audi.
Thus demonstrating the high quality level of the product.

24
HOURS LE MANS
Official Teams invest all their energy to win the most
famous and gruelling "Engines" Endurance trial
in the world.
During the 24 hours race the cars cover around 5,000
Km at an average speed of more than 200 Km/h.
Air filters have to protect the engines from the outside
elements such as oil, asphalt tracks and other debris
being sucked in.
At the same time the air filters must enable the maximum
airflow to not hit the performance. During years 2000,
2001 and 2002 BMC won this race supplying the Audi R8.
