I don't know the answer to that one. Only one way to find out! I think I would first just run teh hose down there... then attach the air filter from bellow with a socket and ratchet.

I remember at the Ring - some of the 1er guys were wondering how this guy with the gold 135i also installed his filter down there! I think it is a tight fit! I did not feel like getting on my hands and knees - in the gravel parking lot of Bruenchen - so I don't have a photo to show you.
