Cannot help with this, but if yours is an oil coated filter, watch out had one on my Z3M and the oil coated the MAF sensor and had to replace it. Hope fully K&N have solved this problem.

Problem usually isn't with the factory oil coatings, but rather with the amount of oil put on the filters when they are first cleaned by the owenrs.  Done right, they should not cause problems.
