[QUOTE="B33mEr, post: 548080, member: 13609"] Are you talking about replacing the stock BMW panel filter with an aftermarket like K&N? If so the i would say it allows the engine to breathe easier and improve throttle response. You can feel the difference albeit very small. Yes I would agree, that for filtration, paper filters are the best but doesn't offer the best airflow. Washable filters comes mainly in two types, cotton gauze (K&N, BMC) and polyester foam (ITG and Pipercross too i think) it does increase airflow which will make the engine breathe better but at a cost which is less filtration that you would with a paper filter. Take your pick which is more important ... For me regular oil change negates the less filtration capabilities of my BMC :4: [/QUOTE]
