I'm thinking OEM.. but if you guys say other wise I may consider something else.

OK...you can't use option 3, because you don't have the performance intake....or do you?

I'm saying go with oem Mann...if you're not going to go with an agressive intake.

OEM - Mann.

I've also used Mahle stuff on my e30 - also quality.

Mann or Mahle.

I am kind of in the same boat. I've been looking at getting a lifetime K&N or aFe instead of the $15 oem replacement. Any real bonus for shelling out some extra moolah for the "upgrade?"

Would also love an answer to this question. Is there any performance gain over the stock air filter going to a K$N? On a realted note, ECS has the bmw performance intake for $270 or so. That a good deal?

Yes....That's an insane deal. Like almost $800.00 off oem value.
