Mann Cabin filter

OEM BMW Cabin filter

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

Mann Cabin filter

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

OEM BMW Cabin filter

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

Mann Cabin filter

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

OEM BMW Cabin filter

I've had to replace the cabin filter 2-3 times because of this problem. At first the smell would go away after replacing the filter, but eventually returns, usually when spring rolls around.

Pros: smell goes away initially
Cons: smell eventually returns
Vehicle: BMW

Mann Cabin filter

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

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
