Just exciting for me until i await the Dinan CAI. Hopefully its not too expensive..


K&N filters - is it worth spending time & $$?
Folks,

complete newbie here; i just bought my 2011 x5 50i two days ago;
the car is amazing, however the exhaust note is week;(

i was thinking to do of what i usually do [with other cars]: replace the air filters with K&N and disconnect the batter to reset the computer settings..


that seems to be weirdly odd for the x5 as the filters are hidden;
is it worth it?
is it that easy as i think it is?

i found that the K&N has the filters available for sale.., below is the link
http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?prod=33-2449

i'd rather get the dinan kit, but is still not yet available..

thanks,
chris
