Where is the BMW 3 Series Cabin Air Filter Located?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the BMW 3 Series is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. The functions of the cabin air filter are: 1. To separate dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air; 2. To ensure clean air in the cabin and prevent bacterial growth. The BMW 3 Series has the following dimensions: length 4719mm, width 1827mm, height 1459mm, with a wheelbase of 2851mm and a fuel tank capacity of 59 liters. The BMW 3 Series is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 115 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The maximum power is achieved at 4500 to 6500 rpm, and the maximum torque is available between 1250 to 4000 rpm. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
When I last serviced my BMW 3 Series, I found the cabin air filter was right behind the glove box, super easy to locate. Just open the glove box door, there are a few clips or screws holding it in place - remove them and you'll see the filter compartment. Changing it yourself isn't difficult, just need a screwdriver. But be careful about model compatibility, don't get the wrong brand for BMW filters. I recommend checking it every 10,000 km or so - if this thing gets dirty, your car's interior air will be full of dust, making breathing uncomfortable, plus you can save some maintenance costs. Remember to test the AC airflow after replacement to ensure everything's normal before driving safely.
