[QUOTE="E46Fanatic, post: 273378, member: 81"] I've also tried a few filters in my Honda Dohc Vtec days, - RS Akinomoto (cotton oiled), HKS (foam), K&N Drop in, etc and they do improve the performance of the car I had. I also changed the oil religiously every 5k kms with Mobil 1 which was probably a good thing.. I would continue to use aftermarket filters, but the oil change interval for the BMW is already long, and while I'll do an in between, I'm looking at 10-15k kms before each change. Based on independent tests, it may not be too good for the car in the long term: Full test results can be found [URL="http://home.stny.rr.com/jbplock/ISO5011/SPICER.htm"][B][COLOR=blue]here[/COLOR][/B][/URL] However, despite this, I am still itching for that extra edge in performance, even with another E90 325i heh. Also K&N are reputable filter manufacturers, and I've never had my engine give problems with aftermarket filters in the past and most people I know never had. So maybe its worth a try. Also install and replace back with original is a simple DIY which will prob take 15 mins only heh. So would u guys do it based on the info below?
