Sorry its a 2003 4.6is
BMW AIR FILTER INDUCTION KIT E36 E38 E39 E46 E60 M M5 on eBay (end time 13-May-10 21:04:50 BST) this was the main filter I paid £38 its got a 92mm inlet As for the small filter its a 28mm inlet 90degree bend filter for a scooter, needs a 90 degree bend otherwise it wont fit onto the inlet on the secondary air pump. Scooter Air Filter Blue Covered K&N Style 90 Deg (NEW) on eBay (end time 27-May-10 20:15:32 BST) this aint the 1 I bought but you get the idea this is the seller I bought mine off though. I'll get some more pics and try to do a how to but its 1 10mm bolt and disconnect 3 hoses, no tools required they all pull off. There is a small vacuum hose that opens the inlet valve in the airbox which becomes redundant. Pics to follow soon. Last edited by bullethead; 05-13-2010 at 02:04 PM.

Nope just left the vacuum hose dangling could of made a hole in the main filter and pushed it in or fold the end over with a zip tie.
I'll get some more pics up tomorrow as its pissing down here now and i aint got a garage.

Isn't it bad for your engine for sucking in hot air from your engine compartment?

Here goes sorry if it gets confusing but it really is easy and shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes..
Metal clips securing cover on airbox undo em along with the 2 to the maf unit. press and pull on the hose to the secondary air intake. By the maf unit there is a small diameter hose (black with a blue stripe) joined to a black woven braid hose disconnect it here its easiest. Remove the cold air feed Undo the 10mm bolt to the inner wing and it should all just pull up and out now. Remove the hose from the secondary air pump.    It works fine without a heat shield as I have left the cold air intake attached but I am going to make 1 as it could do with some support and I've got some time on my hands at the mo.
