The Airfilters of my 911.1 C4S X51 are due to be changed (40k Miles). I was considering BMC filters, what's your opinions about this ? I read a lot of mixed opinions about them !

been discussed many times. Basically, any washable filter. They pay for themselves after 1 or 2 changes. I got a set of K&N ones on sale at Suncoast for less than the paper OEM filters.

Super Ironic, I have the exact same car (911.1 C4S X51) and am doing the same thing. I recently went trolling through the forums / research, etc etc.. various threads on this subject. Ultimately, I decided to go with the BMC filters, only for the generally regarded sound improvement. I found a good price over at MADNESS autoworks, where they are barely more expensive then the paper ones. I figure best case scenario I go through the clean/re-oil/re-use process, and save money in the long term, or I throw them away and go with something different after they reach their normal EoL.

Or buy filters from FCP Euro. Then when it comes time to replace them again, send your old ones back and they send you new ones for free.

Running K&N as a recent replacement of the paper ones (2015 .1 GTS).
Is it true that, under normal operating conditions, those require servicing every 50k miles?
At the rate I drive, about 3k miles per year, I have a while to go or do I clean re-oil more frequently?

Just replaced my paper ones w K&N @ 25K miles.
Wish I could say i hear or notice a difference....but nothing.
Price was similar to paper ones so l would just use them till I need to change again....
