Cabin filter OEM Toyota or OEM BMW
Reviews
Take it to a Toyota dealership and change your own cabin filter (it's the easiest thing to do)
Pros: easiest thing to do
Vehicle:
Toyota
It was $100 for the BMW cabin filter. After 20 min of trying to squeeze in to do it, I would say, that $90 was worth it for the cabin air filter.
Pros: worth the money
Cons: difficult to replace
Vehicle:
BMW
I change my oil+filter every 5k, engine+cabin filter every 15k, and CVT Drain and Fill every 60k (just once so far) and have not noticed anything weird or concerning.
Pros: no weird issues
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Have had my 2015 535i X drive for 3 months now and I love it. Was looking at B58 for a while, and decided to go with the one I have now because it had 80k miles, was in great shape and had good maintenance records.
Pros: great shape, good records
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 128747 km
Oh and there was evidence of a rodent’s nest in the cabin filter.

Toyota Highlander
Be wary of Amazon, I ordered genuine Toyota cabin and engine air filters two years in a row, the second year the filter was noticeably lighter, cheaper feeling. I suspect a counterfeit imitation that has only half the filter material
Pros: good quality, first year
Cons: lighter, cheaper, counterfeit
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
This happened to us with 2023 sienna after a dealers oil change !!! It turns out that they didn't close air intake filter cabin correctly. We were drive up to Canada at the time. We had to stop time to time to stop the warning. Check the air filter cabin and make sure it secure.

And somehow its 50 to 70 bucks or whatever to change the cabin filter but they already took it out to show me and they put it back.... which is why I change oil myself....
Cons: upselling, long wait times
I changed the micro filter, cabin filter, etc.. The smell seems to be strongest with heat set to 78 and when I am slowing down or coming to a stop and the auto engine shut off turns on and off.
Cons: smell getting worse
Vehicle:
BMW X3
Production markings on the side of the filter as shown in the pics above indicate that this is a BMW OEM part. I can’t imagine that Halfords would be installing genuine BMW filters. There’s no way that they changed this.
Vehicle:
BMW
