Might Help, NZ_M3 does it again: http://www.m3csl.de/diy.php

"It real simple.
1 unclip and lift the wiring harness that runs along the pollen filter housing.the black pipe that sits above the housing is just pinch and pull also.
2 undo the electric plugs left and right of the intake flap.push down on the metal piece then pull back the plugs.
3 remove the 3x 25 torx bolts that are onto of the filter box.
4 while holding the wiring harness, at the back up, lift carefully the back of the box then once you have it raised you need to turn it slightly behind the headlight.
5 you need to hold the thick pipe under the intake scoop and separate the two parts.
6 lift out the front part and pull your filter out.
Replace in reverse order making sure the smaller pipe that runs down the chassis leg slots back in place properly."

A bit more info, from one of Adem's previous posts
