BMC filter or K&N

likebmw · 10-15-2014, 08:42 PM

Hi all, I appreciate your time to give me advise.

I am recently going to replace my air filter for my F10 528, can anyone told me what's different between BMC & K&N? I mean beside the price.

Stick with stock filter. Your 528 isn't going to give you anything except placebo effects and more engine wear with those filters.

The only time where I see the limit of the stock intake is when we increase boost significantly in the 535 or 550.

so no HP gains? these filters are not cheap, if no HP gains, who would buy them?

People who are looking for cheap mods and a K&N decal on their window.

Like Scott said unless your have a higly boosted 535i or 550i no need for filters.

I used AFE Pro Dry S in my 528i. Been using it with custom exhaust and JB4, great combo.
