Like all diesels, they're all about air flow, so only use the big German air filters by Mann or Mahle in it. The more air you feed it, the better it will run.
Pros: better engine performance

Bought a Mann Air Filter and center tail lamp bulb for my e39 for $15 bucks at Advanced just before Xmas.
Vehicle:
BMW
I bought Mann as my first and Hengst as my second, Mann all day.
Pros: Mann all day
The mann is or as someone else said, no real problems using that.
Personally I prefer the mann frecious plus filters due to annoying allergies. Though they are a huge pia to get for whatever reason so I am currently using a cortero filter. Good luck so far
Pros: no real problems
Cons: huge pia to get
Both are good for oil and air filters. But definitely get charcoal. Made a huge difference for a few more dollars on something you don't change often.
Pros: huge difference
