TIMM'S BMW E38 MICROFILTER REPLACEMENT
After the back-breaking gymnastics
required to change the Microfilter on the E32 the E38 ones (yes, there are two)
is dead simple. We hardly need a 'How to' but it's good to know what to expect
so:
Buy only BMW's Microfilters, I got a pair from EuroCarParts and they didn't have
the little securing tabs....and weren't all that good a fit, still, you live and
learn.
Open the bonnet and undo a single screw on the filter cover:
The cover hinges on the inside to reveal the Microfilter
The filter (including remains of dog) pulls out using the tab from the outside
edge:
Mmmm....seem to have a stowaway in there:
Old filter out......new filter in....make sure you get all the foam around the
filter correctly in the aperture:
Screw the covers back on and that's it.....not really worth a cup of tea....
