I have read on here that a few of you guys have panel filters. Is it true that these aren't as loud as the full induction kits, and where can i get one for a 325? I have looked on the web but no luck. What are the pros and cons of the different filter options?

Thanks!

i had a k&n panel filter on my 1st 325i.
i bought it from halfrauds for about Ԛ£40 (had to order it)
made a small difference to intake noise and the car appeared to be breathing better (i say appeared cos the only real way to tell is on the rollers with a before and after)

I have a jetex performance filter, was about 40quid at the time. when I got my white 325i I noticed someone had used a cone cutter on the bottom of the air box to create 8 or 10 holes about 20 or 30mm wide each :lol:
