Cabin filter Mann or OEM BMW

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’ve had my i4 for over two years. Maintenance costs have been $0 but BMW gives you three years of free maintenance. When I have brought it in, all they do is inspect the car, top off wiper fluid and replace the in cabin air filter.

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

I just buy the MANN filter at o reileys and change it myself.

I removed the factory interior filter as well and installed a Mann Frecious Plus filter instead.

Thanks! I wondered if this worth a try. I installed mann fp 25 015 filters before this summer and they are great

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.

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.
