What's this part?

Post by rj1986 » Sun May 04, 2014 9:41 pm

Looking at doing the intake filter tomorrow, and stumbled across this page on the manual

http://workshop-manuals.com/bmw/x_series_e70/x5_3.0d_m57t2_offrd/2_repair_instructions/13__fuel_system_%28m57t2%29/72__air_cleaner/2_ra__replacing_air_filter_element_%28m57t2%29/

Apparently it's the air filter element, but cant see it on real OEM to google the part and find out if i need to replace it.

It's a 3.0d (e70)

Are you doing the engine or AC?  2007 E70 3.0D?

The engine air filter is on the left side of the engine, same as the E53 if you have a M57 T2 engine.

As in this type.

The picture you have matches the 30sd on Realoem.  That's a M57N2 engine.

Like this.

Just sussed it as well (just as you posted). It's the 3.0d E70 07- one of the first batches in the UK from what i gather.

I've got the right part :) now time to do the bank holiday to-do list .
