Air Filters: K&N or BMC & Why?

Wanted to see what most people are going with as far as air filters.

Seems like majority of people are using the K&N setup and I also confirmed that EuroCharged does as well.

Does anyone have any feedback pro's/con's on either seutp?

Can any confirm if either one of these filters actually has a different shape/smaller that allows for more air passage/flow?

Thanks in advance.

I use the filters that came with the UPD intake spacer kit which are generic oiled filters. There’s a big thread on the AMG W212 forum. They are just like K&N or BMC. These things are a commodity now. Just get the cheapest filters you can.

Thank you so much for this. I had no idea there was a CAI for our setup
