BMC airfilters

Has anyone tried these over the KNN?
http://bmcairfilter.com/search_a.aspx?marca=11

I was told to install these over KNN and I know of a few guys having CL after installing KNN.
Car is a 07 E63 stock. I have the carbon with paper on and no CL when the carbon was remove.
From the look of the filter they seem to be the same as KNN in the end I think they are all the same. Just want to get some input for everyone or anyone who has them.

Thanks.. new owner 4k later and loving it.. 2 rear tires later also... still love it

Thumbs up

I have BMC's in my E55. Quality and fit is way better than K&N in my opinion. Only issue I've had is sourcing the cleaner and oil to service them.

Agree, I have BMCs, replaced my K&Ns with them, and would rate BMC's quality as much higher than the K&Ns. I had no trouble finding BMC branded cleaner and oil; it's readily available.

I've never had a bad experience with BMC.

We've used the BMC's on all of our big power builds from Mercedes to Porsche... we also have a set or two in stock.. and always offer free shipping on BMC for those in the US.
