BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003

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.

How to open the seat of a scooter without the key

If we have to open the saddle on a scooter when we do not have the key, we can find the necessary information and useful information on how to move in the description below and also in the video.

If we do not have the key available, we can still open it by removing the panel which is placed immediately under the saddle where we rest our feet and intercept the opening cable and then pull it manually.
