M3 airbox...

This test was done using the E36 M3 which has the same airbox as the 325/328...not exactly a supercar airbox or filter. BMW did this to reduce costs on what they saw as a limited market car (U.S. version is significantly different than European/World car).
As far as the arguments presented here about the time span of Conforti's test...I see the validity of the argument but it still doesn't change the basic argument that K&N lets through more dust. Other studies showed that K&N did a good job of filtering out particles at a certain size but had serious issues at smaller particle sizes.
Regards,
PLC
