Air filter

[Discotheque]

I know this is going to sound like a silly bloody question, but how do you actually get into taking out the air filter!? Do i need special tools or the force to open the intake box?

You need a Torx T20

Did the air filter change successfully 2wks ago. the location of the air filter on the 118i N46B20 set up is different from those write up found.

The air scoop component will first have to be removed using torx screw. Next remove the 2 nuts holding the air box in place. Once the 2 nut is out, lift up and out the entire air box. the air box is tighten with 5 torx screws so remove the 5 screws will expose the air filter.

hope this helps thou i know having pics would be much better.

cheers
