DIY E70 X5M OEM Air Filter change issue
Hello,
I was trying to change E70 X5M OEM(Not K&N) air filter the other day, referencing this tread - http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=499319 It looked simple enough but I just couldn't get the bottom 4 clips unhooked, and was afraid to force them any harder, might end up breaking something else.... Is there some sort of easy trick that I'm missing to unhook these bottom 4 clips? |

Yeah, loosen the two hose clamps, lift the housing up, and pull slowly. Take your time sliding off/on, the rubber boots are connected to some very fragile plastic vacuum lines.
Those are a PITA and expensive to replace if they crack... |
Appreciate
