Introduction

This guide provides instructions on how to change your BMW Series 3 cabin air filter. Cabin air filters usually need replacement within 15,000 - 30,000 miles. An unchanged air filter is harmful to one's health so it is important to replace.

This repair requires a filter with dimensions 32.8in x 6.18in x 1.1in. The size of the cabin air filter varies between car models. Be sure to check your car model for the correct filter size.

    • Open driver side door.

    • Lift the car hood lever until you hear your hood release.

    • If your hood release lever has a "2x" symbol, this indicates a double-pull hood release lever. Pull the lever once, release the lever, and pull it a second time to release the hood latch.

    • Slide your hand under the hood and lift it up.

    • If your BMW does not have a double-pull release lever, find the release latch under the BMW symbol on the hood. Push or lift this latch to unlock the hood.
