I'm having trouble sourcing a replacement air filter for my '84 280i ( they didn't import the 2.8 capri )so I'm thinking about replacing the standard setup with a high performance filter.

Anyone have any opinions/guidance one way or the other? (or know of a UK firm that would ship me the standard item, failing that).

I've now rung around, and the situation is: can maybe get K & N but can't give me a price until it arrives in Australia six weeks from now. (don't we have aircraft these days?)

Suppliers have vaguely heard of Pipercross but no Idea how to get hold of one (or more at this rate...)

Anybody got an email address of a UK supplier?

Otherwise the airbox comes off and I go the custom mod route.

Am I going to get any extra performance for my money/aggravation if I modify?

Cheers
