Cabin filter replacement on BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Cabin air filter

Replacing the pollen filter on BMW 3 Series E46 is really very simple, and today we show you how. The first thing to know is that on this model of car the cabin air filter is accessed from the hood, and not from the cabin itself. So, raise the hood and put on the special support rod. Behind the engine compartment you can see a horizontal compartment, near the windscreen: it is the pollen filter box. To open it, simply rotate the three pins on the lid and remove it. Replace the filter and close the box. Nothing easier!
