Re: GTV6 Conical Air Filter (K&N?)

[Joe Elliott <jee@domain.elided>]

As of a while ago, MSDS (818-453-8823) listed a cone filter for the 
Milano, which I assume would also fit the GTV6.  If you want more 
power, you might as well do the big airflow meter upgrade and buy a 
cone filter kit for whatever BMW model you end up stealing an airflow 
meter from.  However, my feeling on conical filters is that all they 
accomplish is make the induction noise audible, so it sounds like you 
have carbs, or a Jap economy car with a conical air filter element 
and other hot mods (see 
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~jee/junk/hilarious/honda.jpg or 
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~jee/junk/hilarious/nissan.jpg).  I think 
they just let in too much hot air from under the hood.  YMMV.
