Replacing the air filter of a Mini

Model: Mini Mini R53, R50, R52 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Air filter

Replacing the air filter on a Mini? Let's see how. We open the car door, pull up the engine compartment opening lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard and lift up the front hood, we secure the same with the rod. We open the air kit (unscrew the perimeter tightening screws), uncover the filter box cap and extract the worn air filter. We insert a new filter in the dedicated housing (making it adhere well around the walls). Finally we reassemble the cap of the air box and tighten the screws on the sides. We close the front hood at the end of the replacement.
