You are in for quite a bit of work. Given the location of these filters it's clear BMW doesn't think these need to be changed very often.
I posted the following step by step guide when I had my X5 50i... http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showp...8&postcount=24 |

I know this thread is three years old. But new bmw owner of a 2011 x5 50i. First bmw ever. So far have been pretty happy with my purchase (despite initially having buyers remorse stumbling upon on the n63 recall info the day after I made my purchase). Had it for about 5 months and she runs perfectly so far (knock on wood)
Anyways, was wondering if anyone could reprovide the pictures maxx put up on how to change out the air filters. The links no longer work. I can't seem to find any info at all on how to change them out on this engine. Closet thing I found was a you tube video of very poor quality where the guy had already removed everything and was just randomly pointing to parts and screws to remove. Any help would be appreciated. Even a scanned copy of 3 yr old printout of Maxx's post would be better than nothing. Thanks! |
