I think most of the guys advocating the use of a different air filter must be a bit loonie. The discussion of the different pleats only highlights the reason not to change. Do you want to take a chance that the filter flows less air? How do you know what the flow characteristics of the material is compared to the Audi part? And the BMW engines are what - 3L and 3.5L sixes - why would BMW make a filter that flowed more air than needed, enough air for a 4.2L engine, and Audi wouldn't?
 
And for a savings of $8 - you must be kidding. I would rather skip a couple of lattes and stick with the Audi part.
 
Okay, I've put my foot in it...
