Here's a diagram for reference...

http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E8...tridge_hfm/#06

The clip (item #6) hooks into the tab on the air box. You turn the bottom piece away from the clip portion to create tension and it locks up. To remove, turn the bottom piece towards the clip and then snap the clip out of the tab and that should do it.

As you are not the only one on here please don't be offended but when you are communicating with anyone and you use the word 'man' in a sentence instead of the persons name you make yourself look about 15 years old and lower your status considerably in front of others.

You will never hear any World leader, high profile Politician or leader of Industry talk like that.

bodygti, insert the edge of a flathead screwdriver along the small groove around the mount's edge following the direction of the arrow on the top of the mount. lift vertically upwards as shown. this should release the little plastic tab securing the mount and allow u to slide it inward toward the engine and upwards and out.

HAHAH too funny and not the first time I've seen this dude (starting a new trend here) make an idiotic comment.
Now back to the topic...
