I just got mine, but am thinking I should order the dry filter now before I move forward with install.

Anyone on this forum have this issue?

On my 330i I had a CAI with a K&N. After maybe 2 months I got a service engine light that didn't go out. I was smart enough to remove the CAI before taking the car in for service, because it turned out to be a bad MAF (it was replaced not just cleaned). I put the CAI back on after and had no more problems.

The service engine light had come on 2-3 times (but gone back out) 6-8 months before I installed the CAI. Because of this I have never assumed it was the direct cause (MAF could have already been going bad), but knew if I had not taken it off I would have been in trouble with the warranty claim.

If spraying some CRC MAF cleaner on the wire is all that is needed that is not a big deal though -- pretty easy to do.

I was at the Mirage the night (seeing the show LOVE) when Pam Anderson walked by after her wedding. She married that dude that filmed the epic Paris Hilton sex tape. They got married at the Mirage. I lost a boatload on my damn Yankees, but made it back playing BJ and Craps on the last night...thank god!
