F87 Air Filter Clip

Trying to change the air filter for the first time. What a ridiculous setup in this car! The clip under the MAF sensor was a little difficult to remove but impossible to clip back on. I'm positive that both the air filter and clip are set correctly. Suggestions?

As long as it’s snug, it shouldn’t be a problem. You can always put a zip tie around to keep the two parts in place.

Next time you don’t need to actually disconnect it… just lift tbe top half enough to r&r the filter

Also be careful the air box clips can drop to the bottom of the engine bay

Yes, yes they can.
