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.

Reinstall the filter housing cap and tighten the screws. Reattach the trim pieces under the dashboard, screw them in place, secure the clips, and reconnect the power connector.
