I agree with you that the intakes themselves are well designed, and don't need to be modified or messed with. But, the stock filters are GARBAGE. Especially you M50i guys with the charcoal filters too. I've run K&N filters in quite a few cars including the G05 with no issues thus far. Hopefully they come up with a filter for the TU3 for you guys to run...

Thanks!
I removed the charcoal filters a couple weeks ago. Ironically, it was an "accident". I was fitment testing the K&Ns from a M550i to see of they fit. They didn't. That was actually when I discovered them though. I didn't even know they existed until then.
I saw them.... and I was like "yep.... those are gone". That whole experience however, is what made me bring it up with my tuner.
I've used K&Ns on at LEAST the last 20-25 vehicles I've owned, and I've also never had a problem with them. When my tuner suggested NOT to buy them, I was a bit taken back by it.
But it all fairness.... He has probably seen his fair share of pimply-faced 17 year olds..... roll in with a 1989 Honda Civic, with a K&N filter dripping in pink oil like a freshly used dish sponge... lol.
