How do I change the air filter in my BMW 1 Series?

I recently noticed that my BMW 1 Series has been using more fuel than usual. A friend suggested that I should check the air filter as it could be clogged. How do I change the air filter in my BMW 1 Series and is it as simple as just replacing it?

To change the air filter in your BMW 1 Series, start by locating the air filter housing under the hood. Use a screwdriver to loosen the clamps on the air intake duct and remove the duct. Then, remove the old air filter and replace it with a new one. Make sure to clean any debris or dirt from the housing before installing the new filter. It's a simple process but if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, I would recommend taking it to a trusted mechanic.
