Replacing the Cabin Air Filter on BMW X6

Model: BMW X6 MK 1, E71 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Cabin air filter

Pull the lever and lift the hood, ensuring it stays in position. The cabin air filter, or pollen filter, is located near the windshield on the passenger side. Unscrew all the 13 mm bolts that secure the grille in that area. At this point, unscrew the other underlying plastic nuts that secure the filter box, also 13 mm (see video). Once the cover of the compartment is removed, rotate it and you will find the two air filters inside. Remove them and simply insert the new ones you purchased that match the originals. Reassemble everything by proceeding in reverse order.
