If they filter so well, why is it recommended for you to use a filter sock on motocross bikes or ATV's? The reason is that an oiled cotton and gauze filter will let in enough dirt to dust the engine on those machines!!! I have seen it first hand!!! You go ahead and use your aftermarket filters if you like, for maybe a 2HP gain I think I will choose to forfeit the 2HP and protect my engine! The only filter upgrade I recommend is using the Euro Filter on 08 - 09 north american M3's P.S.: I have done hundreds of hours of technical training on oil, fuel and air filtration! The engines I work on are close to $1million a pop so the company I work for is big on filtration and engine cleanliness in general! |

Which is not true as you seem to acknowledge to know that oiled filters can have bigger gaps that let air but use the oil to catch the dirt. Chill man! I did not know you are an engine builder. Cool gig! |

Dears,
I was on the point of spending a kidney of my 23yo son Buying a full eventuri used system (included the big element with the m3 v8 logo) more than 3k euros.... But I was a little bit in doubt if in a so big intake sys like the m3v8 the BMW guys in Germany has created an UNUSEFUL Set of components.... This topic is fantastic. Lot of rational and experienced people. I fully agree with you. I remain only on an aftermarket filter. I have a question My car is European (I am Italian old guy) beg 2009 production. Could be dangerous for my engine is I buy a filter without charcoal? Then I use my car very rarely and completely on "clean ambient not dirty (If I take a wrong road with dirt or off road section I usually come back...) and I take care very frequently about filters... In this case I can take oil filter without any pain? Thx a lot for precious support and really again congrats |

It's was just off when I snapped the pic. I'm a believer of the lid. This was when I was tapping it for threaded titanium hardware.
