Let's go through the removal of the cabin air filter on a BMW X3. Lift the hood to access the cabin air filter: the filter is located in the plastic housing under the windshield. Remove the plastic cover under the front windshield (where the air filter is located).

Use a screwdriver to 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 around the walls of the housing.

Finally, reinstall the cap on the filter housing and secure it. Check that all previously removed parts are properly reassembled. Close the engine compartment after installation.
