How about this..Unless you track the car a CAI on a BMW is an absolute worthless mod that delivers mediocre results for the $$ paid.

The "high flow" filter will allow more dirt into the engine and could cause problems with the MAF sensor.

If 1940's air filter technology was soo great don't you think manufacturers would still be using it today?
