E1346L Air Filter

I got this to replace an engine air filter on a 2019 BMW X3 with 4 cylinder engine. It's not a filter for the interior cabin - it's for the engine air intake. It looks very similar to the original BMW one, and fit just fine. This was my first time replacing the air filter, and even though I read up on the process and watched some online videos, I still could not believe how difficult BMW engineers made it to replace a simple air filter! My process was first to undo the screws on the airbox. The inside one closest to the front of the car needed a swivel to reach, as it's slightly obscured. I pulled out all the screws and kept them safe rather than leaving them loose on the lid for fear they'd drop somewhere in the engine bay when I pulled out the lid. Second, unclip the sensor on the tube connected to the airbox. Third, loosen the hose clamp on the tube to provide some slack to lift the air cleaner lid. I tried, but still didn't have enough room to lift the lid to get the filter out of the airbox. Fourth, undo the engine strut brace at the front, and loosen it at the back to rotate it out of the way. Fifth, remove filter, vacuum the box, and replace filter. Six, reverse steps to put everything back together. Torque on the engine strut brace bolts is 56 nm (41 ft lb) -- it was really hard to find this info online (you're welcome). There are online videos on resetting the service indicator if it's showing in the dash/infotainment, which can be done without any special equipment - just a complicated sequence of multiple button presses.

Great product, would recommend.

Worked & fit perfect as BMW oem

Does not fit a 2020 X4

Great 👌👌

Perfect fit on my 2019 540i. Quality filter

Bought this filter to replace my 2018 BMW X3 engine filter. You need a few tools to get this job done but it’s not hard at all and you’ll save yourself a lot of money. Dealer charges way too much. You tube has some pretty good videos on how to change it. Good luck

Purchased for a 2019 BMW X3 2.0L Xdrive. I took my X3 in to the dealer for routine service. The tech quoted me $249 for air filter and $279 for the cabin filter... with a straight face. I'm getting angry all over again just writing this. I refused the service and sought out the parts to do it myself. This air filter is identical to the OEM filter it replaced, including the pre-filter mesh on the intake side. Fit was perfect and the job took about 20 minutes. I saved over $200 with this filter (and even more for the cabin filter, but that's another item). Dealer markup is insane.
