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.

Pros: same job, same features
Cons: overpriced on BMW dealer

I can\u2019t smell the windshield wiper fluid since I switched to a Fram filter with charcoal in it.

Pros: reduced windshield wiper fluid smell

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).

Pros: high quality, easy to replace

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.

Pros: good quality, easy to install
Cons: hard to find, charcoal blows through

I’d just get the standard FRAM, WIX, or so on if you wanted better airflow. If you don’t have bad allergies I’d just get regular since the benefit isn’t really noticeable otherwise, and then you get worse airflow.

Pros: better airflow
Cons: worse airflow

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

Pros: MANN filters good, OEM filters good
Cons: aftermarket filters suck
