K&n on clearance

Just scored 2 k&n oil filters for f30 n55 for $3.50 each at walmart. Take a trip to your local walmart and see if they have some left.

Just a "heads-up"!.

I bought one of these at Walmart here in Melbourne a couple of months ago and discovered, after the fact, the filter large O-ring was the wrong one and caused oil blow-by when the the oil pressure was up under normal driving rpm. Was not evident at idle.

The included O-ring had a oval cross-section rather than round and therefore was not provide a adequate seal.

I notified K&N and also checked several auto-parts stores who carried the PS-7014 and all those had the correct O-ring.

stick to OEM. just because you scored something for a good deal does not mean you should go ahead and put it into your car. always stick to OEM suppliers
