Default How often to change engine air filter

I usually change engine air filter around every 20k miles on my other cars. From the maintenance schedule, it seems that S4 is scheduled to change at 55k miles. Just want to confirm that if this is the interval you guys are following?

I did the filter in my (lowly A4) car a couple weeks ago. With 31,000 miles on the clock, I've never seen such a clean air filter. It really did NOT need to be changed.

I have the aFe Pro Dry filter and clean it whenever I change my oil at about every 5-6K miles. Easy enough to do to have the piece of mind that you have a clean filter. Just my two cents.
