K&N Filter

I'm flashing the ECU on my SL55 (SpeedTuning) and I'm also (per their recommendation) going to get a better air filter. I'm going with K&N.

I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that I don't know how to change the air fillter on this car. Any pointers, pictures or writeups?

Searched this site but didn't find anything specific for the SL55.

Its quite simple, you just undo a few clips around the airbox and try pull the cover away enough so you can pull and slip the old filter out, and then replace it with a new one. Thats if u get a normal panel filter made specifically for the car and not a pod filter. Sorry i dotn have any pics or anything
