How do I perform a cabin air filter replacement on a BMW X3?

I recently noticed that my BMW X3's cabin air is not feeling as fresh as it used to. I suspect that the cabin air filter needs to be replaced. Can someone guide me through the steps of replacing the cabin air filter on a BMW X3? Thank you.

Hi Sophie, replacing the cabin air filter on a BMW X3 is a fairly simple process. First, locate the cabin air filter housing, which is usually located behind the glove compartment. Remove the glove compartment by pushing in the sides and pulling it out. Then, remove the filter housing cover and take out the old filter. Make sure to clean out any debris in the housing before inserting the new filter. Finally, reattach the cover and glove compartment. Hope this helps!

Hi Sophie, I recently replaced my BMW X3's cabin air filter and found that it was a bit tricky. The filter housing is located behind the glove compartment, which needs to be removed first. Once you remove the glove compartment, you will need to remove the entire housing to access the filter. Make sure to note the direction of the old filter before removing it. After placing the new filter in the correct direction, reattach the housing and glove compartment. Let me know if you need any further assistance.

Hi Sophie, I suggest you replace your BMW X3's cabin air filter every 15,000 miles or annually. If you notice decreased airflow or unpleasant odors coming from your vents, it may be time to replace it sooner. Replacing the cabin air filter is relatively easy and can improve the air quality in your car. Good luck!
