That's what I wonder. It's human tendency to believe something is making a difference when you are actively looking for a difference. What do the dynos say about BMC vs K&N vs Stock?

My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.

I dunno, I know that on the M5 forums they praise the BMC filters like it's the best thing since sliced bread & that it's better than the K&N, but honestly I don't see how much of a difference there could be between the two?

I mean, a high flow air filter is a high flow air filter, right? Besides particle filtration? And if I can pick up a K&N for ~$50 vs. $100 for a BMC, well that's just simple Economics 101 there, i'm going to buy the K&N.

I like K&N due to the fact it's thicker. LOL. I live in NYC. The engine and A/C in the car is a mini vacuum cleaner.
