they are just like the ones in the above link.
I touched the lip on the filter and the original seems to be a bit higher and more 90 degree angle, where as the bmw replacement seems to be more rounded off and not as sharp at the lip when touching it? My buddy used some pliers to pull them off, I thought maybe damaging it, but if that was the case it wouldnt snap back on the original filter...so I don't think we damaged it...
