Decided to change my cabin filter today, I’m gonna be honest and forgot these had them. I think the P/O forgot to, the old one was dated May of 2003. Quick little before and after. Ofc bought the Mann filter, gotta keep it OEM ????
I bought a MANN filter for \\~$20 on Amazon and swapped it myself in under 30 minutes with a YouTube video.
Tbf, cabin filter always overpriced on BMW authorized dealer. At my local dealer, a standard carbon filter
(made by MANN) is thrice the price if you buy the same MANN filter without the BMW logo on it.
I have 3 Hondas that use the same cabin filters. Costs me $33 to get Bosch filters.
I do them every 6 months.
Bosch is superior:
Filtro de cabine com carv\u00e3o ativado: 45,00 (pegue o com carv\u00e3o ativado, vale muito a pena, n\u00e3o d\u00e1 cheiro no AC).
Bosch 6081C fancy pants (Hepa) version of the cabin filter is $21 and takes a few minutes to replace, that's $60 saved right there.
The cabin filter, Bosch (BOSCH 6092C HEPA Cabin Air Filter) is what I picked up on Amazon.
I thought the real issue was the fact that the Atlas cabin filter is just paper, whereas they used to use carbon filter in other, older models. Thus, all outside smells can easily be entered into the cabin.
I did the same mistake and bought these filters. They suck, just buy OEM or MANN filters (they are the same as OEM)
