K&N have all the good ratings mate...

Oh...welcome along

As Gav says mate...

K&N and Pipercross do re-washable filters that let that bit more air thru without compromising the cylinders.

They are that bit more expensive as they claim to be a lifetime replacement !

Welcome to BMWOC

Makes a cool noise as well on certain set-ups :)

Personally I would ditch the air-box and install an Induction kit (Cone) with a heat shield, it will have a sweet "Roar" as you plant the accelerator and can give back around 5bhp+ if set-up right !!
