Thanks for the video, but I just did this and found I only needed to unscrew the 3 Torx screws and lift the air box up. It opens enough to slide the old filter out and the new one in. Don't need to take anything else apart. Cheers.

Very proffesional, removing complete filter and checking its condition, cleaning and then returning it, reminds me of Rolls Royce / Bentley mechanics from back in the eighties when all work was removed, assessed and remedial work carried out on the bench before refitting.

It takes extra time and of course things can be done a lot faster. But I really enjoy removing the components and using all the special tools for these cars. Glad to see someone who enjoys the process.

To replace the battery removal of the intake box is necessary. And I would love to make a video on replacing the battery but I just need to find one to do it on.

I assume we could just remove the top with the T20 and change the filter without removing the housing from its position? You removed the housing to clean it properly? Thanks for sharing

Hi there, I recently had my car serviced at a local basic garage and after the service the car seems to have lost a bit of power at all gears. Its manual. And also during 1st gear drive off the car jerks a little. I had air filter, oil filter and pollen filters changed as well as the oil it self. I know they used the correct oil. Bit I am thinking could the problem I am faced with be result of cheap air filter. Many thanks. By the way transmission reset helped a little.

Without all info available it is hard to determine the issue. It is possible the aftermarket air filter would cause this, but I would say it is un-likely. There are some factors to consider such as, are there any DTC’s stored, was the MAF sensor kept clean and dry of dirt or debris. I would also look into the type of Engine oil filter that was used. A restrictive oil filter can also cause lower engine performance. BMW Vanos systems are highly dependent on proper oil pressure. Improper oil and or filters can all be suspect. I would double check all work first. Then consider the possibility that higher quality parts may be needed. If you have further information I can assist you further, for now I hope this helps.

No the 2023 is the U11 series and the replacement is different. It has clips to undo around the air box instead of T20 screws. It’s not too bad though.

I have changed my filter multiple times on the exact same car but didn't do 70% of the stuff your doing. I simply unscrewed around 4 screws that hold the air filter cover, took out old filter, cleaned inside, put new filter in and screwed it together. Again, nothing particularly wrong with your video but it just seems too complicated.
@friendlymechanic9778
Жыл бұрын
Yes this is true, many steps can be skipped but, some may not be able to access certain screws with ease. Particularly the rear. This also gives the owner the chance to remove any dirt inside the air box by flipping it upside down. Thank you for your insight it is much appreciated. The more information we can get on these repairs the better!

Oh man the 2014 is way easier! Metal clips instead of bolts holding it together and you don’t need to remove the air filter box because there is a flexible hose connecting the inlet.
