Several on this forum have done it and recommended it. I'm a bit apprehensive. I don't know if BMW is simply being over protective of their engine by putting it in and it's not really necessary or if the engine does in fact need that extra filtration.
PERSONALLY, I couldn't tell a difference with the K&N OR the charcoal delete, It makes sense that more air flow would occur because the charcoal seems very restrictive, I just didnt notice anything. IMO im going with placebo affect, but thats been very debatable on here for awhile. Like I said just my opinion.
