honestly, if you have trouble doing this - better leave servicing to a dealer.

Sorry I couldn't make it to the meet last Saturday, but family came first.
This is a 520d LCI (but before engine upgrade)
My goodness. Taking a picture in the dark like that really shows how terribly dirty it is under the hood. I never dared to use water under the hood, for fear of shorting something out. Also never took the time to do it another way. I'm lazy I guess

Honestly, you don't have an idea how to change air filter in a diesel engine.

Hi Anzafin,
I would also like to know, PM me too

. Generally:
1. Remove engine acoustics cover.
2. Remove microfilter housing plastics.
3. Remove tension strut (Can't say for sure if this is necessary in 520d)
4. Remove the air filter housing cover.
5. Change the filter.
6. Assemble.
