Air filters, AFE prodryS
When i originally bought my e55 the first thing I did was change the filter the k&n and then need a new MAF after about 1000 miles, I don't know if it was the k&n's or not but either way I went back to stock filters.
While looking air intakes for the M i came across the AFE prodryS filters. It uses no oil and only needs to be vaccumed to be cleaned. So it sounds pretty good, I'm going to order a pair for the M but I thought maybe some of you here might be interested.

Interesting. I had k&n's on my clk but was careful not to over oil them and never had a problem. That said, I was still going to stay away from them on this car. I was thinking of going with Green filters but this adds something else to think about. I wonder if the price is for both filters.

Did a quick search....doesn't look like they make Green filters for our car. Is that right?
Anyway, I'll look for your report and what you think of the AFE's. If you like them, then maybe I'll go with them unless there are somehow even better options.

K&Ns are fine, of all the options they have been the safest (green filters have fallen apart in many cases and are not as well built). If you are paranoid just clean your MAS once a year with 91% isopropyl alcohol and you will be fine.
