K&N Aircharger

[jwbowen]

Has Anyone Installed the K&N Aircharger(63-1093)? I have not found any information about HP Gains.

Also

I am new to the BMW World. What will be a good Addition to a stock setup, to get get some more power with out breaking the bank.

I've installed one on my car. I also debaffled the air box (tons of stuff if you search for it on this forum)

The power gains are marginal at best. But, I get better gas mileage and it's a little more throaty from the engine (mostly because of removing baffle)

Hmm....what the baffle for anyway..also how I remove it if it adds hp and better mpg..........

[skawful]

removing the baffle lets your car breathe more but it doesn't increase performance...
the sound is very cool tho...

[DeefNDorf]

Hmm...can I debaffle it then fix it if I dont like it?..also were can I get an oxygen sensor....

You can get the O2 sensors at AutoZone. I'm sure you could rebaffled your airbox, but you shouldn't have to. It does give you about 5 HP if you debaffle and put a green filter in. O2 sensors are more expensive if it's after the CAT.
