Review: Great filter - Great filter for my BMW f30, sounds amazing for a diesel and can notice slightly more power. and not having to change it for a long time is a big plus. have one of this on a another car of mine and i haven't changed it for a 4 years and still looking new.
Review: Good - Fitted straight away. Used for nearly a year now works a treat. You dont feel much difference but instead of changing filter every 6/12 months i just clean this one following the manufacturers instructions.
