Hi
E53, 3.0d. 2006 Air filter replacement
Has anyone done this, Engine cover comes off esily with 4 bolts. Do you then need to remove part of the bulk head as i removed all the bolts i could find but the filter cover still will not come off. Presume you need to do this to change the oil breather as well ??
Thanks

Look in the how to section. I did a write up last year,slightly different on yours as you have the two piece plastic top to the engine.
