I actually contacted them last month.
They told me they don't have plan at this point to develop product for G01

I was hoping for Pro Dry, or even air box solution that use pro-dry inside.

However seem like they focus a lot on pickup trunk now a day and lost interest on BMW.

Anyone else have experiences with ARMA?
Hello. Any update on this filter? Is arma speed foam filter a dry filter or oiled filter? I been searching for high flow filter for my m40i for sometime now. I have always used K&N filters on my previous cars but after doing some searching on this forum, it seems like most members are against it.

It's sitting on my shelf and I haven't even touched it.

I'm quite happy with the K&N to tell you the truth.

I don't buy into the fear. I always buy a new one every 15k anyhow. I never wash and re-oil.

One of these days I'll put in the dry one and see if I can feel a difference.

I can hear the turbo whine with light throttle input, that's about it. I wouldn't purchase it again over the K&N.

It's cross referenced with the OE filter: 13718691835, as K&N's: 33-3079 filter fits perfectly.

Just to note for anyone interested that this will not fit the 2020 G01 M40i.

KN does not have any available options on their site only goes up to 2019.

11/22 UPDATE thought Id share - I called AFE Power to inquire about the drop in filter for the 2020 M40i and they said they do not have anything available, and looked around a bit and said they dont even have plans to R&D the 2020.

I told them I was part of the forums and there is A LOT of interest. I was told that we can submit request on their website and filling out product request forms with year make and model.

That will "ring bells for the R&D teams" that there is a market and to review options.

I done that couple months ago as well.
They told me there is no plan to make product for G01 (Mind is 2019) M40i.

What intersting is they already made product for 2020 - 340.
AND
Tons of new product for pick up truck.

Not sure why they don't want business from X3/X4
