$240 Engine Air Filter

Went to the dealership yesterday for an oil change and was advised to replace the engine air filter, $240 for the part (for a 2012 550iX, I declined)! Is this something I can easily replace myself, what is the part number and can you recommend an online source?

$240 appears to be including $180 in labor. Takes about 5min to swap out the filters.

And unfortunately that would be right... An hour's labour...

I would imagine (I don't have the V8) it would be a pretty easy DIY; so long as one is the least mechanically inclined.

Go to youtube and see if there is a vid on "how to change your filter."

I usually purchase an aFE in my 3 series, need to check out the 535.
