My 1996 328is has had a K&N filter in it since 1997 (when it had about 8K
miles on it).  It now has 95K miles on it (only about 6K of them track
miles), runs great, doesn't burn a drop of oil, and makes good power.

I don't know what sort of bad things the K&N is supposed to do, but I
haven't seen them manifest themselves in my car.
