ITG or K&N to replace stock in X6M.

That's good info right there. Thanks for sharing! Will try out the ITG one next once my BMC's are through. I agree about the never needs cleaned part, that's like saying oil is lifetime fill. I personally don't like servicing the filters as I don't trust myself on the whole re-oiling procedure. The last thing I want is to get oil on the maf because I was overzealous with the application. I will dust it out from time to time, but that's it. I just consider it yet another overpriced consumable it the care taking of this beast. Haven't really come up with a mileage interval that I'll dump them at yet though. Thinking I'll do it at 40k intervals to match my walnut blasting schedule.
Whatever you choose don't go K&N if you can help it. Just research their filters and you will see why I stay away from them.
