How to replace the engine air filter on BMW 3 Series? Let's see how to proceed in this video: open the car door, pull up the engine hood release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard, and lift the front hood, securing it. Using a screwdriver, remove the air box assembly (where the air filter is located), disconnect the engine air intake hose and the metal clamp pin. Remove the air filter box from the vehicle body, then extract the worn air filter and insert a new one, ensuring it fits snugly around the walls of the box. Finally, reassemble the air box panel and tighten the screws.

Close the front hood when finished.
