The air filter on the BMW 3 Series model E90 is located under the hood, positioned on the right side along the lower part of the engine. To replace the filter, open the hood and remove the filter cover by unscrewing the four screws.

Remove the filter by pressing on the sides and proceed to clean the filter box. Insert the new filter and close the filter box cover. The air filter should be replaced at least once a year, although ideally, to maintain optimal vehicle condition, it should be replaced every six months.
