M2C Charcoal Filter

I know the OG M2 didn’t have charcoal filters, but I had just picked up the M2C and was wondering if anyone knew if removal would affect the warranty? I had planned on removing them from the M2C and installing K&N drop in filters. I’m sure someone has experience from the m3/4 out there.

Have you checked the m3/4 forums?

I did a quick search but I’ll do some more digging, I’m sure there is probably more info over there just because there aren’t many m2cs out there yet.

One of the first things I did on my M4 was to remove charcoal filters and install BMC filters. Never had any problems in terms of warranty but I didn't have issues requiring warranty work either. Several BMW performance shops recommended me BMC over K&N btw, just FYI.

No, charcoal filter is another filter that is located in the air filter box along with the air filter itself.

We have an M2 Competition at IND and have confirmed that it does have charcoal filters, similar to the M4.
