Its held down by 4 little spring tabs. cant miss them mate. run your hand along the outside of the box where the top joins the bottom and you will feel them. simply unclip them and the top section should free up enough for you to remove and replace the filter.

Good luck, Allan

Thats the problem, I have unclipped them and the box wont move its like the AFM under neat is holding it down! If i was to take the bottom AFM off will it be hard to put the stock CAI back in and bolting the bottom AFM on? or is there a trick to doing this. I wanna clean both my AFM's and replace the filter.

Cheers Allan

If you want to take the AFM's out, and remove the entire box its best you start from the top and work your way down. Start by loosening the wormdrive clamps that hold the intake tube to the AFM on the top and remove it, then you will have slightly better access to the lower AFM, repeat this process with it as well. Now carefully unclip the AFM harness plugs, on a 32 they may very well be fragile so take your time and dont break them :) Now the entire box assembly should be held down by 4 bolts, 2 at the rearmost bart of the box near the strut tower are visible, and 2 are near the headlight, still visible, but u gotta look for them. They should be a 10 or 12mm head, remove these with a small socket set, not a screwdriver as you will half mangle the drive in the head if you do and voila! the airbox is ready to be removed(provided you have removed the snorkel/air intake)

Good luck, Allan

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
