I would stay away from a K&N Filter. I like K&N for my carbureted motorcycle, but these filters need to be oiled to work correctly, and the oil can then end up on the MAF sensor which will cause a loss in power.

There are many stories from M3 guys who have done this, and then found a big gain in performance only after cleaning their MAF. At least those guys can get to their MAF easily.
