Let's see how to remove the engine air filter on a Mini. Open the car door, pull up the engine compartment release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard, and lift the front bonnet, securing it with the prop rod. Open the air kit near the engine soundproofing panel (unscrew the fastening screws), remove the cover of the filter box, and extract the worn air filter.
