AFE dry panel filter

Anyone tried one of these?

Avoids any potential issues with a K&N and getting oil on the MAF sensor.

Not expecting and real world power gains.

I’m more focused on improving throttle response and smoothing out low end transition in to boost which can sometimes feel a little on/off on my M240i Xdrive.

Also, I believe the G20 m340i filter fits the G42.

You won’t notice any difference. Been there done that before.

Also we don’t have a MAF. The sensor on the intake pipe is a temp sensor.

Did you try this specific panel filter?

No difference in any way? Not even throttle response?

Yes. Afe dry. Zero difference.

High-flow filters improve the airflow to your turbo, providing greater breathing space at high RPMs. Data we've seen suggests an improvement of approximately 5-10 wheel horsepower, but it's critical to note that this gain occurs over a relatively narrow 2K RPM range.

In day-to-day driving, this increase is not noticeable; however, if you track your car or participate in professional time trials, it can contribute to better performance times.

Thanks Mike

I’m also hoping it smooths out the low end torque a little which is a reason for adding the AFE filter.

Also for fast road use when I’m up in the higher revs the extra flow and a few HP will be welcome 👍

Guarantee you won’t feel any difference. They are cheap so as least you are out minimal money. I’ve yet to see a single person notice any difference with drop in filters.

It’s one of those mods that if someone installed it without your knowing you wouldn’t know it’s there. It for sure isn’t going to change torque curves.
