Obviously the M3 is not a mustang

I could definitely tell a difference between the OEM paper and the AA--but only at wide open throttle. The engine sounded much throatier up front. Plus, in the long run, it's cheaper to have an oil immersion filter because they last forever.

I agree, been using oil immersion filters for 15 years, NEVER an issue on any of my MAF cars. You just can't oversoak it.
