M550 airbox
It is a rare nice day here in W NY and I am trying to change the spark plugs on my 2018 550. The airbox is supposd to "just pop fff" but it seems like there are hold-down bolts somewhere. Does anyone know? Thx!

It will come off - just not easily. No screws/bolts. I had a hard time with bit as well, but eventually got the driver's side (LHD/USA to release. After that's side was up, the other side released easier. Actually, that was the hardest part of the job.

Update
I tried it again, with a different grip (one hand on the rear cover, the other near the air inlet) and it popped right off.
