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

I\u2019ve had a M3P for almost 4 years now. Best car I have had. With 38K miles now I have only done the following maintenance. New set of tires $1200, cabin filter $20, wiper fluid $7.99. That\u2019s it for maintenance.

Pros: low maintenance
Mileage: 38000 km

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

Tesla Cabin filter

I've used both the Tesla ones and the Amazon ones and both resulted in bad smells after 6-12 months. My third set is a similar version of the Amazon ones. I just swap them every 12 months. Also use the foaming coil cleaner this time and things still smell nice after 3 months. Real test will be this summer.

Pros: foaming coil cleaner effective
Cons: bad smells after 6-12 months

Tesla Cabin filter

I swapped my OEM filters after 4 years and they looked new. Put in one of the “high rated ones” from Amazon and the car started smelling. I’m thinking of just spending the extra money to go Tesla official because i’m not trusting these Temu products that fit the cabin but might be making things worse.

Pros: OEM filters durable, no smell
Cons: aftermarket filters cause smell

Don’t get the ones with the carbon in them, buy OEM. The reason is these restrict air flow which is harder on your AC system and testing shows they do a worse job of filtration as well.

Pros: OEM filters better
Cons: restrict air flow, worse filtration
