2021 GLE 53 AMG engine air filter DIY instructions?
Hello everyone, I am a new owner of GLE 53 non-coupe (kids, you know:-).
Looking for some instructions on how to replace the engine air filter (going K&N route before I'll add race chip) - but can't find anything here or online.
Will appreciate if anyone has a link to a guide or PDF.. thank you!

P.S Came from tuned Macan S, need some extra juice to get close to where I was with Porsche :-)

I would contact K&N directly. They may have something in the works.

Looks similar to W213.

Have a look:


Working on WIS, might take a while.

The above video is for the M157 engine in the prior W166 chassis which ended with the 2019 model year.

Tyvm for that clarification. I wasn't sure of the year model in his video.

Thank you for posting this. It enabled my ENgine filter swap on a 2021 E53 AMG Convertible. I put in a new K&N Filter on my car. Your notes are the only ones I found that were relevant. SO THANKS for posting.
