Where is the BMW 320 air conditioning filter located?
2 Answers
BMW 320 air conditioning filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below is a detailed introduction to the BMW 320 air conditioning system: 1. Reasons for not cooling: The condenser is a component that is often overlooked. After long periods of driving, a lot of dust accumulates on the condenser. When driving for extended periods on dusty roads, even more dust builds up on the condenser. Excessive dust on the condenser significantly reduces its heat dissipation efficiency, leading to poor cooling performance. 2. Precautions for replacing the filter: Although replacing the air conditioning filter yourself is convenient, it's important to ensure you purchase the correct model. Always opt for reputable brands when buying air conditioning filters, as inferior products often have filter paper with low air permeability and lack the ability to effectively trap dust.
I've been driving a BMW 320 for several years, and the cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to first open the glove box door, then firmly pull outward or press the side clips to completely detach the glove box. Once removed, the filter is hidden inside the filter housing - replacing it with a new one is straightforward. I've DIY replaced mine multiple times, generally recommended every 15,000 km or annually. Why regular replacement? A clogged filter reduces AC airflow, weakens cooling performance in summer, causes stale cabin air, and increases exposure to dust/pollen. This is crucial for health, especially during long trips. Don't delay - purchase the correct filter model from shops and follow video tutorials using just a screwdriver. Proper maintenance ensures more comfortable driving and saves money.
