Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E90, E91 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, just below the glove compartment. To facilitate the replacement, move the passenger seat all the way back and kneel just outside the cabin to access the kick panel area. Remove the retaining pins of the sound-absorbing cover under the glove compartment and take it off to access the filter housing. Next, unscrew the two screws securing the filter container cover, extract the old filter, and remove any dirt residue. Then, insert the new filter and reassemble everything.
