Remove the air filter on BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Air filter

Replacing the air filter on BMW 3 Series, let's see the replacement. We open the car door, pull up the engine compartment opening lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard and lift up the front hood, we secure the same with the rod. We remove the soundproofing panel of the engine, then, we disassemble the air container. We open the air kit (unscrew the tightening screws), uncover the filter box cap and extract the worn air filter. We insert a new filter in the dedicated housing (making it adhere well around the walls). We mount the container in the engine compartment, connect the suction hose.
