Where is the air conditioning filter located in the BMW 730?

The location of the air conditioning filter in the BMW 730 varies depending on the model: 1. In older BMW 730 models, the air conditioning filter is located under the wiper in the engine compartment; 2. In newer BMW 730 models, the air conditioning filter is inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Taking the BMW facelifted 730 as an example, it is a 4-door, 4-seater large sedan with body dimensions of: length 5273 mm, width 1902 mm, height 1498 mm, and a wheelbase of 3210 mm. The BMW facelifted 730 is equipped with a 4.4T twin-turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 390 kW and a maximum torque of 750 Nm. It features an all-wheel-drive system with front-mounted drive, a front suspension using a double-wishbone independent suspension, and a rear suspension using a multi-link independent suspension.
I've driven a BMW 730, and its cabin air filter is usually hidden behind the footwell area on the passenger side. You'll need to remove the trim panel under the glove compartment to access it. I've changed it myself several times, and it's quite simple: just release a few clips, pull open the cover, and the filter will be exposed, typically in a square box shape. After replacing the filter, the air inside the car becomes much fresher, which is especially important for people with allergies. I recommend checking it every six months or 10,000 kilometers. The filter is inexpensive but makes a noticeable difference. Don't wait until you notice bad odors to change it; regular replacement can extend the life of your AC system. If you can't find it, take it to a professional shop for a quick inspection—don't tough it out and compromise driving comfort.
