Part: Cabin air filter

Replace the cabin air filter on the BMW 3 Series if worn. Use a plastic trim tool to detach the cover located at the bottom of the glove compartment. Remove the plastic clips and the power connector. Get a screwdriver or cordless drill, unscrew the screws, and remove the cap from the filter housing. Then, pull out the worn cabin air filter. Insert a new cabin air filter, ensuring it fits snugly.
