Let's change the cabin air filter on a BMW Z4. Open the right door and access the interior; use the appropriate wrench to remove the screws located under the glove compartment and pull off the plastic cover (as shown in the video). Remove the cover from the cap and pull the air filter out of its housing.

Once this is done, insert the new air filter into the filter housing (make sure to insert the filter correctly without bending it). Finally, reinstall the cap of the box and all components of the glove compartment as you disassembled them earlier.
