Here's my stock answer for these fancy air filters:
-Go to a nice clean paved country road. -Do a few seat of the pants, or better yet, timed acceleration runs. -Pull your air filter out. -Do the acceleration runs again. Notice any difference? Didn't think so.  -Don't forget to put your air filter back when you are done. -Save money from not buying fancy air filter for  or  or  Bavarian Autosport sells stock air filters for $16.95 for the 4.4 l engine.

I just took my X5 in to an independent shop to have some work done and the owner HIGHLY recommended that I remove the K&N filter and put the stock filter back in. He said the 4% increase in air flow was not worth the $450 price to replace the air flow sensor once the oil from the filter faulted it out.

4% increase in air flow  , you would get more acceleration from a well placed fart against the seat back.
