I have this intake in my car:
http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E46-330i-M54_3.0l/Engine/Intake/ES35341/

I searched around the forum (still searching) to see where I might get a replacement air filter for it. Does anyone happen to know?

Sorry if there's topics on this already...

Thanks!

There is a discussion on this forum. I think Mann works. Sorry I can't search for it at this time.

I think Bruce told me Napa Gold 6253.

Thanks! I found it buried (slightly) in a thread on intakes:
http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?11227-E46-Master-List-of-Intakes&highlight=Napa+Gold+6253

Indeed, recommended seems to be Napa 6253 there. I just found a thread in a different forum recommending the Napa 6301--but whatever. I'll go with 6253.

Thanks again!

Not sure where the 6253 number came from but it looks like it isn't even close in size to the 6301 which I know fits the Performance intake.

6301 is the way to go. About to put my second one in.

Yep, crap--ordered the 6253 per this thread before the additional responses--can now absolutely confirm that does NOT fit the performance intake....

Sigh.

Off to order the 6301...
