Most good aftermarket filters are oiled via computer so the likelihood of over oiling is slim. But I have seen instances of out of over oiled factory filters. What I did with mine that I installed into my M, was to lay it on a paper towel over night to soak up the excess.

Like I mentioned, unless you are planning to do other performance mods, keep your $250 dollars and buy a fresh OE filter every year for $40 dollars. With my math, you will have a fresh filter for the next 6 years and never worry about screwing up your sensor!

 

I've had my BMC for several months now. It's a myth that it increases HP or will cause a CEL. I haven't experienced either. IMO it's a sales and marketing ploy. Don't waste your money. Save it for something that is measurable and counts like a tune or an exhaust.

 

I have had the BMC installed for a year now and also the Softronic flash , Both have worked out very good for me...

 

The BMC filter flows better and screens out smaller particulate matter. It is specced by several top tuners in conjunction with exhaust and ecu flash.

 

Thanks for the DIY!

 

Don't do it White Rock! It is a waste of your money! Buy some Inlet Pipes or dinner for your wife...much better investments....

Seriously...These do NOTHING, but increase sound a little...Let more dirt in your engine, and fall apart after about a year or less....I know from experience.

Just trying to help...

Good luck,

Don't worry I'm not. I just bought a Turbo S carbon fiber airbox and needed to know how to swap the factory plastic one.

Hey John...

Nothing against you for posting a DIY...Helping the community is a good thing...and appreciated! Just trying to give people all the data points.

I was referring to this. LINK HERE

I had same experience...

Kudos for the DIY... Take care.

Same experience here...OEM from now on.

 

I did it for the sound. Makes the spool a little more wicked. I would highly doubt it would increase power at stock levels. But at 600-650 who knows...this unit may flow slightly better at those levels.
