What I would like to know is, does anyone make an uprated air filter system for a 530D or is the K&N Panel filter the only option, and if this is the only option, does anyone have it fitted and does it make any difference.
Questions, question and more questions.

GAV530D, the 530D does not use a panel filter.
It's a strange canister shape filter covered in a type of mesh that's very difficult to get to.
I doubt if any of the aftermarket filter manufacturers are going to hurry to make one for the 530D.

I have done some research and must take back what I said.
K&N do have one listed for the 2004 530D it's the E-2657 which looks roughly the correct shape but it says its for an E39 which cant be correct as there are no 2004 E39!!
BMC have the 264/16 which seems to be the same size for both E39 and E60.

I heard it's very easy to install yourself.. but i'm still asking my bodyshop technician to do it for me..
