What happen?

didn't plan to install it so far...
some say it allow too much air flow and suffer the engine, not good for long term use...
btw, the k&n filter is oil type? original is paper type?

Dunno.  laugh.gif

But I heard of this brand since in college.

Almost 14 years already.  icon_rolleyes.gif

ya me too...I heard it since the day I fall in love with cars...

I've ask some advice from my uncles (they actually car lovers)

1 of my uncle advice is go ahead with it...somehow all the dirt will become carbon around the engine..
no harm of using it...he is using on his wrx since the 1st day...he say the only problem will occur is the warning check light on mass filter sensor will light on as too many dirt around it and it detected low air flow...he normally clean himself using contact cleaner spray..

my another uncle...not advice due to the reason I stated earlier...large air flow...more dirty flow into engine...

so conclusion...I'll wait and see.. brows.gif

Original should be the normal white color filter and got a lot of serabut...that is dry

K&N oil type is silky and shiny oil around the filter

4-5 layers, peel off no stain if the layer is thick enough, if u find it hard to peel off, rub it with WD40

i manage to get them from supplier thru a local store
*
normally with 5 layers, how many can needed for m3 ori rims?
can still get them for me at the same price u have there? how much each u got it?

What does this car have if compare with civic??
*
at least dashboard not so "plastic".. doh.gif
civic more to family car while m3 more to driver's car.. nod.gif
u do not have spacious room for rear passenger compare to civic.. vmad.gif
i will use "sport sedan" for m3.. brows.gif
smooth gear change for paddle shift compare to civic while i test driving.. thumbup.gif
hmmm..it's up to your decision, i've pick m3..and i'm not regreting.. icon_idea.gif
and oh ya...i found the leather seat given as a package for m3 is nicer than civic leather seat.. brows.gif
but if for features, m3 will have less features than civic like auto cruise.. doh.gif
