BMW 3 Series e90 air filter replacement

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E90, E91 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Air filter

Today we are going to replace the air filter on our BMW 3 Series e90. First we open the hood of the car. Having identified the filter box, we are going to release the clamps present. Release the clamps and loosen the metal clamp on the suction pipe, and then remove the pipe from the filter box. We can then remove the filter cover and the old air filter. Now let's give it a good clean inside with a compressor or with a damp cloth, removing leaves, earth and any dirt. Now we can reposition the new filter, making sure it is in the correct position, and then close it with the lid. Now we hook the clamps, and reconnect the suction tube, being careful not to force too much. The new air filter has been replaced correctly!
