Cabin Filters
Has anyone swapped these out themselves? I would love to swap mine out so long as its fairly easy. Can someone point me to the best place to order the filters and maybe a tutorial on how to get to the filters? Thanks

Are the aftermarket filters pretty decent? I would rather not spend an arm and a leg on a cabin filter. I see Micronair, Hengst, Airmatic, Mahle, etc...

I assume it's not part of the scheduled 3-year maintenance.
Are the WIX brand equal to the OEM ones and it looks like maybe it's impregnated with charcoal for odors? ETA: looks like WIX isn't available in the USA, all the site seem to be in the UK Last edited by NoMods; 09-01-2023 at 07:53 AM.. |

It looks like Wix P/N WP10064 is the correct one, but everywhere I've looked seems to be sold out unfortunately.

I just received a set made by MicronAir. I think that's the name of the product but some other German company makes them. They look quality but I haven't installed them yet. Will report back.
update: I just installed these and when I removed the ones the dealer installed they also read "MicronAir" but they also had a BMW logo on them. My guess would be that little BMW logo adds about 60 bucks to the total Last edited by vanos84; 09-02-2023 at 07:35 PM.. |

My car got a cabin air filter change at the 2 year service. And it only had about 7K miles on it at the time.

I change these religiously every year, they do get dirty from exterior particles and elements.

You don’t have to use a more restrictive expensive filter like the BMW or Wix. I think I used the Mahle but can’t recall for sure.

I did the change but man i had a headache after. The body contortions i needed to do was like yoga. I also broke a clip trying to get the panel back on and will pay the stealer price on next change.
