Is it time to change the air filter on your BMW X3? Let's see how to replace the damaged filter. Open the car door, pull the hood release lever, and lift the hood.

Secure it with the prop rod. Open the air intake kit (unclip the securing hooks), remove the cover from the filter box, and take out the damaged air filter. Insert a new filter into the designated housing (making sure it fits snugly against the walls of the box). Finally, reattach the air box cover and tighten the metal hooks.

Close the hood when maintenance is complete.
