| Pulled the air filter out today to have a look & IT WAS ABSOLUTELY BLACK. Covered in muck, flies and road grime! Surprised if any air was actually getting past at all! .. Cant believe that MINI dont even look at this until 40k as mines only done 25k at the moment! Hoovered it out and replaced it but need to get a replacement asap as Im sure this has to be affecting economy/ performance! Next question, is it worth getting a performance panel or just replacing it with the stock paper one? |

| Upgrading panel filters will only make a small difference, but at the end of the day they do improve things a little and will probably cost less than an OEM paper filter so it is worth doing. I’ve always preferred Pipercross, but everyone has their favourites. Have just fitted an ITG ‘cylinder’ filter to my JCW, I believe they also do panel filters.

| I pulled the filter out my 32k '05 MC and as suspected, it was totally black, so I replaced it with a Pipercross one. Made a noticeable difference, but then just a clean, new filter probably would have too! It does add a nice bit of induction roar though, if you like that sort of thing.... |
