Location of the BMW 1 Series Cabin Air Filter?
2 Answers
BMW 1 Series' cabin air filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, you need to remove the glove box on the passenger side first. Only then can you replace the cabin air filter. The BMW 1 Series is a compact car under the BMW brand. Here are the details of the BMW 1 Series: 1. The domestic version of the BMW 1 Series has a wheelbase of 2670mm, with length, width, and height measuring 4456mm, 1803mm, and 1446mm respectively. 2. The BMW 1 Series is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivers 140 horsepower and a maximum torque of 220 Nm, with a maximum power speed ranging from 4600 to 6500 rpm and a maximum torque speed ranging from 1480 to 4200 rpm. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine produces 192 horsepower and a maximum torque of 280 Nm, with a maximum power speed ranging from 5000 to 6000 rpm and a maximum torque speed ranging from 1350 to 4600 rpm.
Last time I helped my wife with her little BMW, it was a real hassle! The external filter is hidden under the wiper on the passenger side, requiring you to lift the hood and forcefully pry open the plastic cover with clips. The internal filter is even more extreme—kneeling on the passenger foot mat, head stuffed into the footwell gap, and looking up to see a long cover plate that requires unscrewing two Torx bolts to pull out the filter. These two filters are like giving the AC a double-layered mask—keeping leaves and bugs out on the outside and dust and pollen trapped inside. After disassembling, my back ached for three days—I recommend wearing a back brace before attempting this.
