Personally I'd stick with a high-quality paper filter. The high-flow filters (such as K&N) also tend to let more dirt pass through, definitely no bueno.

I use Mann, Mahle, or Hengst filters in my cars. Thankfully the one time I ran a K&N panel filter (on a 2005 VW Beetle 1.8T) did not result in a fouled MAF sensor or engine problems.

Have had BMC for over a year. Apart from giving me a headache when trying to fit it.... No issues so far and intake noise is louder.
