So does anyone out there in e60forum land already HAVE this airfilter installed? I'm really curious as to the power advantage (if any) and noise level increase coming from the engine compartment. I've had these filters on my cars (pre-BMW) before and it seems to always make that annoying "muffled" bogging noise when you hit the gas -- rather than maintaining the quiet peace from the cockpit.
PLEASE - any feedback. Cuz if the price is right and this little gem is a useful tool for my engine....i need to order ASAP!

Cheers.

o come on as you sad before you had this installed in your old car so it would be about the same
if you what tiny bit more power and better sound from the engine then this is the job but if you quiet peace drive a MB.

I think alot of us have this mod itis a must have item.

Can anybody please remind me how often the air filter needs to be changed in the E60 according to the maintenance schedule?

I clean my K&N every 6 months.
I never change it no need.

But the engine definately breathes and pulls better at high speed. I like it.
Definately recommended if you go for a remap.

+1. when i put it in along with taking out that charcoal filter, i could hear more air passing through (if that makes sense). it does let the engine breathe more.
