Fitted the bmc cda today. I was that eager i even did it in the rain.I ordered the kit for the 2.5 v6 model expecting all the correct bracket work. But as uauall with this filter its the wrong type. Any how that didn't stop me fitting it.For future reference all you need is the universal fit filter cda85-150.There is a hks adapter that can be used but as didn't have one i chose a different route.
First take off the air flow sensor and tale out old filter.There is a bit that sticks out on the airflow sensor that requires prising off.Leave the grid in place as this straightens the airflow.

Then you need to take the engine side plate off the filter.easily done about 5 screws.Cut off the connecting piece so that the face is flush.The goes flat against the afm.Line up both pieces and drill through the filter plate to match up with afm fixing holes.secure using 6mm bolts about 40mm long.

I used some clear silicon when joinin to make a perfect seal and to be honest there is a slight gap that requires just a bit of filling.

Once done i put filter back together. May be worth allowing silicon to go off. I didn't have time.

installing is straight forward, the battery tray needs modifying as this is just a case of cutting the plastic side with a saw.

secure the filter with bracket provided to existing fixing on wheel arch and fit cold air feed.

Haven't had chance to fully test it but had quick spin round the block and seems to work well.will let you know how it goes.have to get ready for work, dam 2-10 shift.
