Reviews of Mann cabin filter

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 did the same mistake and bought these filters. They suck, just buy OEM or MANN filters (they are the same as 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.

Using the reg of a 2015 MK7 golf I used to own, you can get a MANN cabin filter for £20 (high quality top end, can get much much cheaper), and they’re super easy to replace yourself (2mins).

The Mann Frescious Plus ones are really good. But they are hard to find sometimes. I’ve also done well with the OEM one from VW. I’d avoid the WIX one. The charcoal is not well contained in the filter and it blows through the vents into the cabin and gets all over everything.

In addition, replaced air filter and cabin filter with Mann products at approx. 10,000 miles.

Mann carbon activated filter is the best OEM

I do mine every time i do my oil, I buy Mann carbon impregnated ones

Has anyone experienced or heard of a cabin air filter being damaged by heat? At first I thought it was rodent damage or mold, but those little white balls resembled burnt plastic. I took a lighter and burnt another section of the filter and it made the exact same damage.
