I removed mine about 3 weeks ago and have not noticed any adverse affects. I thought only US cars have the filter 
Have you actually opened up the air box and seen the extra filter?

dust is not really a problem here .. its humid most of the year .. im not sure if i should take it out since my dealer goes by the book for evey tiny thing .. for instance i asked if i change my rims they said you can only get BMW approved rims unless i want to loose my warrenty ... and he is now contacting bmw germany to find out if the style 167 ( M6 rims ) are ok for my car .. so im not to sure if i should do it
Actually you can change the airfilters yourself, just order the units.
My problem is the wintertime when the car is out at -30 C and in the gargage at +30 C.
My AC filters get a lot of dust (from the sanding of the city streets in the winter) and
a lot of tree seamens in the spring.
I.e. hell thrue out the year :thumbsdown:
So the filters have to be reneved more often than the "official BMW" wants to say and also
the whole AC system needs to be cleaned!
