Yes they forced us to sign up as a vendor to discuss my filter project. I guess my Z06 is depreciating a few hundred per month as is what's a few hundred more to support the Z06 forum? 
I've asked them to reopen the thread so we don't have to recreate weeks of posts and data on it.

2015, A8, Z51. Been running the BMS filter now for about 300 miles. No issues to date, car feels good and sounds like the airbox is a little more vocal when she opens up a little. Love hearing the sound, imo... great filter swap.

Ordered mine. Fast processing and shipping. The car is stock except for new wheels and MGW shifter. Definitely worth the money.
I was a bit taken back while installing. I noticed oil on the floor and on my shorts. I realize this is designed like this but I would have never known if I did not install the filter. Seems like quite a bit in there and if it ever fills up too much it could become a problem. How often should this be removed and cleaned?

On to the filter. I have had mine for a few weeks. Overall seems good. Hard to tell if the car is stronger (summer heat) but no issues. One measurable thing has been my MPG has improved. Not a expected result but I am now averaging a consistent 17+ mpg verse the 16.8 I was getting before. Not major but a measurable difference.

The intake is dry. The part in the picture that connects the intake to the plenum has the oil catch which is the part you snap off and put back on during install. When I was cleaning and moving it, the oil leaked out. I let it all leak out and cleaned it thoroughly before reinstalling it. Just thought it was something worth talking about as I had no clue about it before.
