The facts.
DescriptionThe whole story▼
Of everything on this fitment list, the F 800 GT is the machine built to pile on distance. It is the faired sport-tourer of the family, belt-driven, laid out for hours rather than minutes, and the ones still in use have the odometers to prove it. Every scheduled service so far has ended the same way: a paper panel lifted out, glanced at, binned, a new one unwrapped. The PM35S is the point at which that stops being a recurring line on the schedule.
Key Features
- One dry layer of woven polyester, unoiled from the factory and unoiled again after every wash
- Openings of 80 µm with a rated flow of 5,050 l/m²/sec — Sprint Filter's road and track weave
- Polyester strands from ø 22 microns upward; the aperture and the fibre are separate measurements
- Roughly twice the working area of other performance elements inside the series frame
- Slots into the factory airbox where the paper element sat, with no remap and nothing modified
- Made to be washed and used again for as long as the bike runs; two-year warranty from the sale date
Where the paper goes
A pleated paper element has exactly one life. It leaves its wrapper at its best, its resistance rises from the first kilometre onward, and no operation restores it — which is why such a filter is never repaired, only exchanged, and why a long-distance machine has quietly retired a small stack of them. A dry polyester weave is built on the opposite idea. Air regenerates it, water finishes the job when air cannot, and it goes back in; Sprint Filter design the element to last as long as the motorcycle carrying it, which on a bike of this age is a statement about the years still ahead.
Two figures worth reading together
The medium is quoted at 80 µm with a rated 5,050 litres per square metre per second, which places the P08 among road and track parts rather than the fine media meant for dust. Finer fabrics exist and they pass less air — a trade, never a ranking — and a sport-tourer belongs squarely on the road side of it. The rating being per square metre is also why surface counts: this element folds close to twice the filtering cloth of other performance filters into the frame BMW's airbox already accepts. None of which adds power. A drop-in panel cannot.
Care and cleaning
A compressor is the whole toolkit. Aim the air at the side that faces the engine and work outward, so the deposit is pushed back through the face that caught it. If a wet autumn has left a film behind, wash the element in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and keep rinsing until the run-off is clear. Drying is unhurried and cold: no heat source of any kind, no flame, and nothing refitted while damp. The maintenance sheet is filed in the Downloads tab.
Fitment & Compatibility
Written for the BMW F 800 GT, listed from 2013 through 2026, in an airbox that is otherwise left alone. The same part number carries the faired F 800 S and ST the GT descends from, along with the GS and R models of the platform and one Husqvarna — ten entries in all, each with its years under the Fitment tab.
