Z4 M sport. Air filter box removal.

Post by Nuggetman » Sun Aug 13, 2017 7:36 pm

With the lid off and filter out there are 2 lugs with arrows on rubber mounts. Could anyone advise me how to go about removing the whole plastic housing to allow me access to the power steering resivour. Any help much appreciated . :headbang:

Just need a good tug, but keep your head out of the way when you do try.

OK thanks. So nothing actually holds it firm other than rubber mounts?

Correct.

They're just rubber bungs, which I found out when I removed mine to fit the Simota and then the Gruppe-M intakes.

It's not a quick tug, more of a continuous pull until it jumps off.
