How to change Air-Filter on X3 28 (N20)

FSociety · 07-04-2015, 10:51 PM

Hello everyone,

It seems that not only BMW cheated us X3 owners with performance mods and parts, but the 28i owners are even more left out. Look at the position of the air-filter, it seems impossible except dealership able to do this change.

To reach the lower right side clip, there is a cutout in the plastic fender cover (forward of the air filter box) that you can stick your fingers into, to close the right side clip.
