Found an Amsoil Air Filter that fits the GS400
I dug around and found the 1995 BMW 540/740 air filter is almost identical in size to the stock GS400 filter. It has far more pleats, you have to squeeze it in a little, but it does fit pretty well.
I'll take picts if anyone is interested.

It is some sort of nanofiber, it looks paper like, But it seems different than a paper filter in feel. Thicker for sure.
I looked up the filter on wixfilters.com, and found the dimensions, and then looked up the list of the amsoil filters on amsoil.com, they have a link there that shows all the filters they have dimensions. I found one that was very very close...

FANTASTIC FIND!! Great work!!
Now how about a catalog number for us Amsoil Preferred Customers?? Is it the EAA239?
Pic of the installed filter too, if you can.
Again...great find!!

Yup that's the one. The stock filter element is angled slightly, and this one is made for a straight box, so you have to put 3 of the corners in and tuck the element in for the last, then as you put the top on, just simply tuck the soft rubber square corners into the rounded Lexus air box. Works well, probably took me 2-3 min to install. Nothing to it.
I'll see if I can get some pictures later on.

From what amsoil's website says it is synthetic element. K&N is cotton gauze. Likely organic.
AMSOIL Ea® Air Filters represent a major breakthrough in filtration technology. The revolutionary synthetic technology used in AMSOIL Ea Filters captures more dirt, holds more dirt and allows better air flow than conventional air filters. AMSOIL Ea Filters can improve engine performance and help engines last longer.
Absolute Efficiency
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters rank among the most efficient filters available to the auto/lighttruck market. Ea Air Filters’ synthetic media removes 5 times more dust than traditional cellulose media alone and 50 times more dust than wet gauze filter media. AMSOIL Ea Air Filters have a service life of 100,000 miles or four years, whichever comes first.
Better Air Flow
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters allow more airflow than filters that use cellulose media alone. Cellulose fibers are larger than synthetic fibers, and have larger spaces between the fibers, causing contaminants to load in the depth of the media and plug the airflow path, which results in higher restriction and less capacity. The synthetic fibers in Ea Filter media have submicron diameters and small interfiber spaces, which result in more contaminants being captured on the surface of the media and lower restriction.
