Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Cabin air filter

Open the hood and ensure it is securely supported: the cabin air filter is located just below the windshield, in the center, inside its rectangular-shaped container. Then release the bayonet clips of the cover (two on the sides and one in the center) by rotating them and lift it to extract the old filter. Remove any debris present in the cabin air filter container, install the new filter, respecting the direction of airflow, reapply the cap, and secure it by reattaching the bayonets.
