135i air filter replacement DIY...
I just wanted to change out my air filter after 35K miles on my 135i N54. It was really a piece of cake. You just unclip the five spring clips around the air filter box with a flat blade screw driver, pull the lid up and out - and replace the paper filter element. There were a lot of small stones and sand inside my air filter housing. Just think if I had some K&N gauze type air filter that was more pourous and let the sand and rocks into the engine! wow. I used a small shop vac to clean up my filter housing. Then I installed a new filter. I used an OEM Mahle filter - I believe they make the filters for BMW AG. Same quality as BMW's filters for a 1/3 of the cost.
sand, dirt, small rocks were just some of the things I found inside my filter box...
would you look at all the junk that gets push up to the air filter!!
