Modification of the intake and engine air filter

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Air filter

To improve engine performance, the engine air intake system can be modified. The modification consists in adding an extension to the air inlet pipe to the engine and fitting a new type of filter. Disassemble the original air box by removing the internal part, make an opening on the front to improve the incoming air flow and then modify the extension by bringing the tube inside the air box. After having properly fixed the tube with a sturdy metal clamp, insert the new filter at the end, which must also be anchored to the tube.
