How to Replace the Cabin Filter on a BMW F30

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Air filter

As shown in the video, to replace the cabin filter located on the passenger side under the glove compartment, you need to remove the two bolts securing the lower part of the dashboard. Once this is done, gently pull down the lower part of the dashboard with your fingers. Carefully slide out the panel, and at this point, unscrew the two screws holding the cabin filter guide using a Torx 5 wrench. When you pull out the guide, as the video shows, the filter will come out easily. Replace the worn filter with a new one, fit it into its place, and reverse all the steps.
