Do I have to buy an air filter from my BMW dealer and pay an exorbant price or is there an aftermarket or automotive air filter at half the cost?

Mike - I think you have to buy at an exorbitant price. Well - it seems exorbitant at first - but when you see how long you can use on of these air filters lasts - you'll see it's one of the cheaper things you can get for a K! If you have a compressor and a blowgun, and the filter isn't totally clogged, blow it out and keep using it.

You don't have to get it from your stealer - you can probably buy it online cheaper.

And replace it every 50,000 miles - whether it needs it or not. Very Happy
