Cabin filter OEM Mazda or OEM BMW
I switched to a Mazda 3 as a daily but I loved the CX-50, CX-5, and no doubt in my mind the Mazda 6 holds its place.\n\nThe layout under the hood was similar to my 13' fusion. Changing oil was easier, engine air filter was easier, cabin air filter was easier.
Pros: easier cabin air filter
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
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
Cabin air filters are dirt cheap and easy to swap yourself, but people forget about them and shops love to charge stupid amounts of money to replace them for you.
Pros: dirt cheap, easy to swap
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
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

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
Given that they're charging $95 for a cabin air filter, it's highly likely that they're overpriced.
Cons: overpriced cabin air filter
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
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
