Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Cabin air filter

Replace the cabin air filter frequently to help prevent allergies, as it purifies the air inside the cabin and is a very simple task. The filter is located in the engine compartment under the windshield. To access it, unscrew the two clips that secure the cover, which can be done by hand. Once the filter cover is removed, carefully pull the cartridge out of its housing to avoid dust dispersal. Obtain a cabin air filter of the same model as the original. Clean the housing from any dirt. Insert the new cartridge into the container, paying attention to the correct orientation, and close the cover with the clips.
