Stock Air Filter
2016 X3 2.8. 50,000 miles. Looking to replace my air filter. In my past trucks (never owned a car) I used K&N. What is suggested to replace the stock filter in the X3?

AFe drop in filter is a good way to go

I just stick with stock filters. No noticeable performance gain with an aftermarket cleanable filter. I rather spend my time doing something else rather than cleaning and oiling a filter.

Try their dry filter, they're great. Have one in my truck for 8 years and using the same one.

No filters will not change the fuel mixture. The MAF is what determines how much air is coming in and adjusts fueling accordingly.

Thus, my filter gets dirty very very fast. Having a washable filter makes sure that the flow is optimal. |

How often do you need to clean the filter? Do you live in a dry and dusty environment? |
