Before you start, sit in the driver's seat of your BMW 3 Series. First, unscrew and remove the screws that secure the cabin air filter cover.

Then, disengage and lift the cover itself. This will give you access to the cabin air filter.

Next, pull it out of its housing. Once you complete this step, you will have finished removing the cabin air filter from your BMW 3 Series.

To install the new air filter, follow these steps in reverse, and the replacement will be complete.
