To replace the cabin filter on a BMW X3, open the hood to access the components at the top of the engine compartment, just below the windshield. Here, on the passenger side, you will find a grille that needs to be removed by releasing the clips to access the cabin filter underneath.

The existing filter can now be pulled out from its location, allowing you to insert the new replacement part. After the replacement, cover everything back up with the panel.
