Trying to do my first mod today. Open the air intake box and trying to remove the Charcoal Filter, but i just can't remove it. It looks like BMW use glue and seal it with the intake cover. (My car is a 2006 550i) Help!! someone have that situation too?

i take it the charcoal filter is the thing that looks like a second air filter that says "do not remove".

Hey guys im a rookie to this mod stuff on my car. I have an 04 530i, does this work on mine? and if so is it a big difference? Do the dealers give you crap when you take your car in? -Travis
