Cabin filter OEM Honda or OEM BMW

Cabin filter in a somewhat older honda cost €6 and took about two minutes to replace.
Pros: cheap, easy to replace
Vehicle:
Honda
Tbh I was looking a lot into them. I just ended up going to the Honda delaership in person and buying their Honda OEM filter they had for $45~ CAD. Save myself all the labour and markup and the fit was super nice. Most filters have a bad fit so even though it says it’ll go for the car you have it’s not a snug fit
Pros: super nice fit, good quality
Cons: bad fit
That's a cabin air filter from a Honda, probably a civic circa 2014-17. Having worked for Honda as a technician for several years, the pine needles are actually quite common since the filter sits horizontally above the blower motor, allowing things to fall on top of the filter and accumulate like this.
Pros: pine needles common
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Same issue in my 2019 M3. Replace the cabin air filter. Solved.
Pros: issue solved
Vehicle:
BMW
I couldn’t find a similar sized non-OEM filter, so I went OEM there too. But also, before you buy the cabin filter, try vacuuming the one that is in there. If you can get it pretty clean then don’t worry about a new one for another few thousand miles.
Pros: vacuum to clean
Cons: hard to find non-OEM
Vehicle:
Honda
Compared to the honda ones I don't notice a difference in the cabin air. They fitted fine and saved me about $20 bucks.
Pros: fitted fine, saved money
Cons: no difference
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
