Pollen Filter Replacement

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Cabin air filter

The pollen filter purifies the air in the cabin and is located under the passenger side glove compartment. Obtain a pollen filter identical to the original model. To access it, simply remove the container by pulling it upwards. The filter is located in the upper compartment. Once the filter cover is removed, carefully pull out the filter to avoid dust dispersal. Place a cloth at the bottom to catch any dirt. Reinsert the new filter into the housing and securely close the cover.
