I am going to change out the air filter with a K&N on my Mini3s (justa). Has anyone had issues with throwing air flow sensor codes. My BMW used to throw codes every time I used a K&N.

 

I would go with the AFE Pro 5R. Part # 30-10256

*EDIT*
Part number is for the F56 S or JCW

 

I have had no problem in nearly a month since the install.

OOPS! I should clarify; I have the cold air intake, not simply the replacement filter.

 

I put one in my MCS a week ago, no issues with about 500 miles on it.

 

I've had mine ( drop in ) for about 8 months, no issues.

 

Not a problem if you don't overcoat the filter after cleaning and re-oiling. Most new ones come pre-oiled so you don't have to worry.

to play it safe, may not hurt to throw up an obd2 bluetooth dongle and monitor the STFT and LTFT...typically when a LTFT hits 25, that's what typically triggers a CEL. OEM filter are pretty spot on @ 0, but i've seen my STFT hit 5 or so. with a K&N filter, i'd imagine seeing 10, which makes sense. anything above 15 and more than likely you'll eventually throw up a light.

 

I installed a dry AFE Pro a few months ago with no issues.

 

When I bought my MINI I stuck in an Alta drop in sponge filter which was oiled and had no issues, I installed this (pictured) K&N heat shielded filter almost 2 months ago and haven't had an issue yet. I did get a can of MAF sensor cleaner in case it causes one. Spray down the MAF with that and you're good to go.

 

called everyone looking for the aFe dry filter...no luck... if anyine knows where to find it please let me know

 

That part number came up as a pre-oiled one that can be repeatedly cleaned.. Not sure if matches description of "dry".
Also I read quite a bit about K&N versus other filters and found several studies showing that if you're not willing to clean the K&N before it accumulates a significant amount of particle mass, you may see worse average flow than several paper style filters. The K&N data shows better initial flow but it drops off much quicker than paper filters as debris is collected. I may pass as I'm lazier than I like to admit.

 

I bought mine here. The 2.0 and 1.5 use the same air filter.

thanks.. i ordered from them yesterday, called them up because i had to change my delivery address, they told me these filters were in fact, not in stock..

search continues

 

It took a while to get mine, I think aFe had to manufacture it to fulfill the order. Mini Mania has them too.

 

thanks.. however , i dont see it on their site

K&N interchangeable, have used both on my championship racing car.

I thought it was Mini Mania but it was actually Way Motor Works.
