Which Z4?

Not that it matters…a good stock filter from Mahle, Fram etc is your best choice :thumbsup:

Good old fashioned panel filter from K&N - lasts years and just needs a clean when you do your service.

I took a K&N out of my car as I am not sure about the correct way to clean it. Is it that much better than a conventional filter?

This one should be good given the price:

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

I took the K&N out of my car. Who wants to clean filters? Didn't notice any performance reduction. To be honest, I would see more performance if I just lost 5 pounds off my belly!
