Update by Per Schroeder to the BMW 328i project car
Aug 22, 2012

When we buy a new car, we’re not really sure what we’re getting. The dealership where we bought it said they serviced the car—which would imply an oil change—but we figured that it would be good for our peace of mind just to take care of a few things right off the bat.

We placed an order with Bavarian Autosport for a few MANN oil filters and a K&N air filter. We also got a set of their very practical all-season floor mats.

Looking at the engine bay, we were actually surprised to not know intuitively how to install the new air filter. A quick peek in a Bentley manual for the car let us know we actually had to remove the entire airbox to get to all the screws needed to disassemble the intake tract. Once that mystery was solved, it was an easy 15-minute job.
