Hey everyone..

What are your feelings regarding the use of a K&N Air Filter in my 550i? good idea? bad idea? any benefits whatsoever?

Your responses are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

+1 Me too ... I've been running with a K&N filter for about 2 years now and I think the engine breaths easier and sounds fuller. Also make sure to remove the charcoal filter.
