100% spot on. Far easier than those other videos that have you taking significant parts of the car apart unnecessarily. Only thing I would add is use of a flat screwdriver to help loosen the seal between the air hose and air box. Another video referenced doing that and it was key being able to disconnect the air box cover from the air hose. Without doing that, it was a seal so tight that the airbox lid was NOT going to come out. Loosening the seal with a small flat head loosened that connection and then it came right out just like Kaleb described. Kaleb, kudos to you for this video!!
Very useful instructions. Removing the filter cover from intake hose was not easy. I had to pry the intake hose with a plastic flat head tool. Be patient and you will be able to do it. Thanks Kaleb for the excellent video.
This is the simplest and clearest method. Many tanks. Tried a couple of others without success. Many tanks On 530e hybrid, there is a small additional screw which links a tab on the air box lid to another plastic box (don't know what it is!) to right of filter box. This needs to be removed also, be careful not to drop it into engine bay.
Great content, brother. Helped me out a ton today when I removed what might've been the dirtiest filter I've ever seen out of my G30 540i today. Will eventually go with an aftermarket intake, but for now a drop-in replacement from K&N is going to be a revelation in airflow. Immediately noticed a difference, a much happier B58.
I just installed the k&n today. Second one I’ve gotten from them. The idiots at bmw replaced it during my 75,000 mile checkup, even though it’s a lifetime performance air filter. Smh. However, it felt good to have this one back- sounds perfect, and it’s literally a third of the stock one’s thickness.
I agree with you, there is no need to remove the structural support bar. Very good video.

Much easier than the other ways. I had to pry the intake hose off a little to get things moving, but just used a plastic wedge to do it.
Thank you! Perfect instructions - that electrical connection was the key for me.

I knew it had to be an easier way. Thank you so much for posting this video. I’m going to try this tomorrow.
Yes, this is the way. Just did it. Cover dropped right back in place.
