Thank you very much for this write up! I am now concerned about using a K&N filter - does anyone have a great recommendation for a new paper element or other filter? I also, don't need the extra 1-2 hp and want to run clean as possible.
Thank you for any great suggestions/brands I should look at... look forward to replacing mine this weekend |

Good filter, sturdy construction, will easily last 2 years with regular cleaning.
Had mine for a almost a year now, i vacuum it alot more than I wash it.

By the looks of the air box the way it's design makes me want to retrofit it. Placing a silicone elbow from the intake manifold to the box and pipe inside so you can fit a cone filter inside and make a icebox.. Does anyone understand what I mean? This would be a cool project

Awesome DIY, thank you! All I wanted to do was get a good visibility on the retaining clip that holds the headlight bulb in so I could fabricate one with some wire, I was about 15 mins away from taking the bumper off to get the headlight housing out. This was so much simpler, thanks!

I'm unimpressed that BMW made a regular service item so labor intensive to replace. Possibly to encourage people to go to their dealers. I wonder what else was designed with the same objective in mind.....

Changed out the air filter today.
A couple of extra things I did: 1. Used a 6mm socket instead of a flat head screwdriver to loosen the hose clamp. Why they still make slotted screws is beyond me. 2. Spread a thin coat of silicone lubricant on the inside of the hose. It made sliding the airbox tube into the hose a lot easier. 3. Inserted the airbox tube into the hose bottom side first. That assured me that the tube was completely inserted into the hose.
