removing paper, carbon fiber filter in air intake
I removed the paper/ carbon fiber filter in my air intake box, and i have a K&N filter, and the difference in throttle response is night and day. Here is a link from the e90 forum on more about how to do it, and a DIY. Anyways this mod is definetly worth the time, it gets rid of any lag between 1k-4k.

idk if your cars will have this since I was reading that European cars don't have the filter, just American cars because of emissions

We have a completely different filter also:
128i: 125i: I already have the K&N filter in my car - don't notice much of a difference, if any.
