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 year 2000 BMC won this race supplying Audi R8, which reached the first three places and the same in 2001 when they reached 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. |
