Before you can start, sit in the front passenger seat of your BMW X3. First, open the glove compartment. Then, unclip and remove the upper cover of the air conditioning air filter.

This will give you access to the filter itself. Next, unclip and remove the filter from its housing.

Once you complete this step, you will have finished the disassembly. To install the new filter, follow these steps in reverse, and the replacement will be complete.
