Default E30 owners

hi .know there are a couple of 325i owners on this site.Just wondered what air filters you are running.Got a k&n cone on mine but have read conflicting advice as to wether they are any better tha bmw originals,know they sound good but do they increase hp and if so to what cost to engine if any,After all bmw were a company run by engineers not accountants so are there own filters better.
