Same thing as OE. The non OE option is ITG which Evolve was using and now Karbonius offers (with additional plastic support)DD: /// 2011.5 Jerez/bamboo E90 M3 · DCT · Slicktop · Instagram
/// 2004 Silvergrey M3 · Coupe · 6spd · Slicktop · zero options

there is oil on the filter but it's not the same as the one found on the "pre-oiled" filters that are on every other aftermarket filter that BMC sells
every official communication i've seen obtained from BMC customer service indicates that the OE CSL filter can not/should not be oiled with their reconditioning kits

After a few emails a while back with BMC, they stated that this is the only non-oiled filter they make. You can tell because the filter material is not covered in the red dye colored oil when new. The rep there did say there is no harm in cleaning it with their kit and lightly oiling. NZ_M3 said that regular water and light detergent is more than enough to clean it. It is probably worth a try since there is no MAF to get damaged.
As for decreasing airflow or filtering ability of a cleaned filter, you have to dyno back to back with a new filter and monitor the airbox for dust particles. Even with a brand new BMC filter, dust and debris gets passed the filter all the time. I remember seeing a post by 0-60Motorsport where his OE CSL airbox looked like a sand pit.
