I have the K&N. A6 air filter is already pretty free breathing (sorry no tech info)
I haven't really noticed any big difference in performance, a little better gas mileage perhaps.
Just read your above post, and would like to respond to that too: Some of us work, I wouldn't really get too bent out of shape when only 13 people have viewed your question, and no one responded.
BTW have you tinted your tail-lights yet ;0)

IMO/E, you sacrifice filtering for possible performance gains
After using K&N filters on two cars, I probably never will again. The problem I had was seeing dust in the intake, even with a freshly cleaned and oiled filter that fit perfectly in the housing. I never had this with factory filters.
Try this test. Thoroughly clean the filtered side of the inside of the airbox. Install the washable filter (K&N, whatever). After ~5k miles wipe the inside of the housing with a white cloth and see what you find.
To me, I will sacrifice a couple horsepower for longer engine life. Of course, YMMV...

Don't know what an ITG drop-in filter is, but you might try the performance/tuning board
And you may have to wait more than 30 minutes for an answer...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/performance/">Tuning forum</a></li></ul>

Here's something
Took me almost 10 seconds to find it--there's someone on the performance and tuning forum who's selling his ITG airbox. He posted earlier this morning. I'll bet he's tried it. Maybe you should email him with questions:<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/performance/msgs/44542.phtml">free help</a></li></ul>

I have an ITG Panel Filter - Got it from AWE. I'd recommend 'em...
I got mine from AWE Tuning at the link below. It is a multicell foam drop-in OEM replacement air filter (as opposed to K&N, which is a cotton gauze type) that is treated with a special dust retaining oil. It flows better than stock but retains the stock airbox. It is unaffected by moisture.
I like mine. It's been in the car for over 25k miles now. I have had it out to clean it (in my utility sink - it was easy). It's a solid piece if you ask me and only costs about $50.
ITG is a British company and supplies filters for many of the Formula 1 and World Rally teams as well as other Motorsports teams in Europe and here. They're not as popular as the K&N here but I believe it to be a superior product.

PS- Sorry I wasn't fast enough for you.
PPS- I owned a modded BMW & was in the BMWCCA and these guys here know their cars better than the bimmerheads do.<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_detail.cfm?PMaI=1&PMoI=28&PEI=6&P P=a6_27t_drivetrain.cfm&PPT=Drivetrain&IL= ITGFilter">http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_detail.cfm?PMaI=1&PMoI=28&PEI=6
