Replacing the Cabin Air Filter

Model: BMW Serie 1 E81, E82, MK 1, E87 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter for the car model in question is a panel located just below the windscreen, in a central position; to replace the filter, it is necessary to open the front bonnet and unscrew the fixing screws of the cover along the edge; once the cover is removed, take out the old filter, eliminate any dirt residue inside the container, and then fit the new filter (it is recommended to use an activated carbon filter) ensuring to respect the airflow direction indicated by the arrows printed on the filter itself.
