If the filter is non directional, I would install it foam side down, just so that there is more "filtered" air passing through! as opposed to the edge of the filter just allowing the unfiltered air into the cabin! (shudders!!) lol

RickM5X3. You have a handy thing in your signature, mentioning your cars (year, type, platform) which all should do - as it helps to target vehicle specific advice. Your old and new cars don't show platform (2008 would be E70, 2005 would be E53 in Europe).
Are you asking about microfilters for an E53 or E70 X5? For the E53, you will see that the filter has an arrow to indicate direction of flow. BMW unfortunately doesn't put an arrow on the housing or access flap (when you change the filter) to guide you, nor is it indicated in the factory service manual. Direction of flow is from the bottom to top, so the arrow points UP. For the E70, are you speaking of the twin filters (under the hood)? If yes - they can only be snapped in place in one direction. If your E70 also has the third filter just behind the glove box, (accessed from inside the car) you'll see how it comes out (I can't recall off the top of my head).
