K&N Filter
Anyone replace the factory filters with K&N? I just purchased K&N from an online retailer, and am curious if anyone noticed any difference in the sound from the engine, etc.
Thanks in advance,

I didn't notice any sound difference on my E55, but performance did improve, nothing to feel it though, it was at the track, about 1 tenth on the quarter mile, not bad for just the air filter.

compare your paper surface area to the K&N. on tests I have seen your paper filter will flow more air than the K&N not to mention the K&N will let in particles the paper filter will stop.
In short, I do not recommend the K&N and I would stick with stock paper elements. As a *gasp* ex BMW M3 owner I did the tests and went back to stock paper filters.
