If memory serves, access to the airbox assembly is by removing the LH
wheel, and the LH fender liner forward half.
Now, if what you're telling me is that it's a K&N filter that mounts inside
the fender, I'd remind you that you're going to be doing this (pulling the
wheel, pulling the fender liner, removing the filter, washing and oiling
it, reinstalling everything) every 6 months or so.
The gains from a K&N are modest, and only if you keep it reasonably clean.
And don't over-oil it or you'll just be dumping excess oil into your
mass-airflow sensor.
FWIW we don't have a K&N in our '92 9000T, but we do have one (a Dinan
setup) in our '98 BMW 540i. Same drill (fender liner has to come out to
clean it.)
John.
