I bought myself a K&N panel filter off ebay a few weeks ago for the simple reason of never having to buy another filter again. My OEM filter was black after 10K km's and had it blown out. 20K km's and it needed replacing. Figured I'd get a K&N after having 1 in my Euro as well (so I already have the cleaning kit).
This is just my butt dyno here but it does seem to have slightly more torque now. Fuel economy is also slightly better. This may just be because I have a new filter vs a dirty filter but I still think it was worth the $75.95 inc shipping to never have to change it again.
