Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Model: BMW Serie 7 MK 3, E38 - Years 1994-2001
Part: Cabin air filter

Open the hood and ensure it is securely supported. The cabin air filter is located just under the hood, at the rear, inside a small access panel. Remove the retaining screw for the access panel and open it to access the cabin air filter; pull out the old filter and insert the new one, making sure to follow the airflow direction. Close the access panel and reinstall the retaining screw. To complete the task, simply repeat the same procedure for the cabin filter located on the opposite side of the hood. Once replaced, the job is done.
