The late-model airhead filter is of similar construction to the filter my car takes, but is half the size and three times the price.
No doubt. However, BMW probably doesn't sell a million of these a year, so production costs aren't spread over so many units. But I reckon you already know that.
Besides, it's a genuine BMW part, having been lovingly crafted by elves(who punch in on a cuckoo clock) in the Schvarzevald!(Here's where the music fades in: "Duetchland uber alles")
