Simota or BMC induction kit?

I have a Z3 2.8 and have for some time been considering changing the standard air filter for an induction kit. I have discounted a K and N as I've heard they are not a great match for the Z3. The ones I am considering are the Simota and the BMC, the latter is out 70 quid cheaper. Advice/thoughts app...

Poor acceleration...intermittent

I have just returned from a 4 day trip to Cornwall. The second evening I stopped the car to pay for parking, then went to start it a few minutes later. It took much longer than normal for the engine to catch so I stopped turning the key and tried again. It started this time ok, but the airbag light ...
