I have a 2002 748 and I want to clean the OEM foam air filters... what's the best method? Do these need to be oiled?

Wash 'em. Just clean 'em
Might as well get better aftermarket filter.

I have this. I don't know much about or how they are but of course they work heh. Anyone got more details, post up.

Air Filters

Yes, wash foam filters with detergent and then apply oil to improve filtration/trap more dirt.

Over-the-bellmouth air filters (like the ITG filter shown above) kill the airbox resonance and reduce both power and throttle response.
