Re: K n N air filter..
This topic quite widely discussed in various forums. Some like the filter and swear by it though there have been several concerns about the oil getting onto you sensors and the amount of particles that enters into your engine. Had one installed in my previous Camry and the car like it. No problems as long as you don't over oil and the engine is more lively. Not installed on my E90 yet as I wanted to sort out the fluctuating RPM with PML first before I start any mods. Hope that the above helps. Happy New Year.

The drop-in filter is surely better than the 1.5in thick stock filter.
However, do check your engine as the E60 consists on the previous M54 engine and the current Valvetronic one and they are of different filter designs. The latter will hv a bit of problem finding after mkt filter as it's relatively new.

Re: K n N air filter..
Thanks for the advise Peterlaw,
PML still can't sort out my fluctuating RPM problems yet. Don't want to complicate matter by adding aftermarket stuff till they sort it out. I believe K&N will be good for my ride, as in my previous car. And I will probably maintain it myself to keep it clean and ensure that proper amount of oil is applied. Cheers.

Re: K n N air filter..
I have K n N filter in my current ride. Abt a month after installing the filter, my car started having fluctuating rpm and finally it gave up and had to be towed back to workshop. They found that the MAF sensor is faulty which is most likely due to the oil from the filter. Luckily it was replaced under warranty without any fuss.
Other than that, the engine seems more eager to rev with this filter as compared to the stock filter.

Re: K n N air filter..
If worried about the oil in K&Ns then go for the Apex'I filters. They are conical paper filters. Filtration was tested to be superior to HKS sponge and Blitz wire mesh, but flow was only slightly less. Paper is good for singapore where the road dust contains a large percentage of silicone (sand) which cannot be filtered by oiled cotton or wire mesh but is stopped by paper.

Where is the best place in Singapore to buy K&N Filters or Green Filters?
I may want to get one for my Mercedes.
