BTW, i just found out BMWHK took out my K&N filter and replaced it with a new OEM one during service..... Luckily they put it back in a box and left it in the trunk. Project for the weekend, re-install (sounds like MS Windows)...haha.
You would need to wash it and put some of those magic oil in before re-installing.

Master Bun, did you put the sticker "Do not replace" that came with the K&N box? There were some substanial difference when the car start off from a standstill, the pick up is much faster. I did a "on the butt" test with sliu_uu last week, and obviously, my car went off the line faster than his, but still, I'm not sure why AC_S5's car, with the same engine, same K&N filter is the fastest among our 523s.
I don't think guys at BMW would have second thoughts about removing your filter. But is a good thing they left it there.

When did you guys did the test, we should do the test once more with my car to confirm that because is sounds like you are saying that I have a heavy foot although my engine note is different than yours but I don't think it will be faster, you are just jealous of my engine note
