    Default K&N Air Filter

    http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...Prod=57-0194-1

    Looking at this part as i saw someone else on this forum give it a good review....but its listed under the 525i category and i have a 520i.

    I spoke to a mate and he said it shouldnt matter, a filter is a filter.....

    Hope i can get some advice.

    If you're looking for more performance, don't do it. If you're looking for louder induction noise, go for it.

    So really there is little to no point to a air filter.....im guessing you just get a deeper sound from the six cylinder. Also if i wanted a decent sound i would go and get a new exhaust system.

    Thanks for the heads up!
