It turns out the company I bought my K&N air filter kit has disappeared so I am chatting with Paypal to see how I get my money back :-(
This does give me that change to choose a different type of filter if I want.
The K&N ones are oil soaked and this can affect the MAF over time. Having just been surprised by the improvement I gained simply by spray cleaning the MAF (

I plan to replace the standard BMW airbox with a more free flowing one and hopefully rig up some kind of cold air intake system (possibly using a flowerpot).
Are there non-oil based cone filters?
Are there other options?
Anyone got thoughts on what is best?
