Very helpful, thank you.
fuel filter? 🙂
how do you reset the sensor for the cabin filter (330i 2006)
great – thanks! living in miami – there’s a lot moisture
From someone who already owns a BMW,
Do you think it is more costly to maintain a E90 2006 325i 4DR (No AWD) manual, or
A 2002-2005 E46 325i 4DR (no AWD) manual?
I have an E46 330i and the only performance item I have is the Signature Motoring performance CAI for about $160. The performance kit adds around 13.5HP on the dyno, sounds freaking great, and installs in under 30 minutes. Highly recommended.
-13.5 HP increase
-Lifetime filter
-SOUND AWESOME
-30 min. install time
Aside from the power gain, the SOUND is amazing at higher RPM but sounds normal in regular driving. I’m thinking about added high-flow exhaust next.
Zach, the other You Tube video from filter head.com says that the air flow arrow should point DOWN, while you say it should point up – perhaps it is different for different manufacturers?
LOL, I’ve had a new filter sitting in my room for near 2 months and just now bothered looking up what would be involved. Going out to replace it now.
Fuel filter
thank you very much for that video
Hey my car has a problem with the lights, the dash shows the car image with the head light lite lit up
I’m happy I saw this video. My mechanic said I needed a new air filter. Quoted me $100 (parts+labor). I figured how hard could it be? Thanks for the quick lesson!
Does anyone know how to replace a Cabin Air Filter on a 1990 525i BMW? Is it similar to this one?
: Thanks for the great video. I own a 2007 328i and need to replace my micro filter. Is that the same as the Cabin Air filter or would that be the air filter for car intake? If the later, do you have any videos/sites that you recommend for doing that on my own? Also, any specific OEM brand your recommend for both of these items? Thanks a lot for your help!!
Good simple video anyone is caple of this diy job think i might get me a new pollen/cabin filter tonorrow and change mine

Fungus growing inside (or other type of mold).
Is the TYC cabin filter the best one for this car? I need to be two filters. I was going to get the K&N filter but someone told me the oil they cover it in doesn’t do to well on BMWs or something like that.
Every 20,000 – 30,000 miles. Depending on your location.
THANKS MUCH APPRECIATED FROM SYDNEY AUST
how often does that filter needs to be changed?
My daily driver is E46 328i and E30 325 weekends. 328i is more responsive with Signature Motoring performance (CAI) intake kit. Installed it myself in under half hour. HP increase on the E46 is about 13.5HP for a cost of $170 or around $17 per HP gain. Best 1st performance mod to do. Other application data:
E30 series: 6.0-13.4hp gain
E36 series: 5.5-12hp gain
E46 series: 6.0-13.9hp gain
E92 series: 8.5+ hp gain
Z3/Z4 (all): 5.5-13.9hp gain
See my channel for driving action videos!
Great video millertime!
have you seen diybmw com ? It’s a BMW DIY SEARCH ENGINE!!
how many filters are there on this car…
do not hate.. i am new to cars 🙂
Thanks for the video zach, just bought a 330i and enjoying diy vids like this, thx again.
Good good good deal!! Thought I might have to crawl half way through the firewall, hang upside down, and do the hokey pokey just to change this filter out. This is much easier than I anticipated, and it doesnt sound like I need to make a trip to mars for parts either!! Hell yeah!!
My car was brand new and it had that smell! I complained and they sprayed some crap in there! Should be a recall on that shit!
I am truly jealous. This is too easy.

Liked the video. Thank you.
Wow, changing cabin filter for this car is easier than the Acura TL.
omg – other who just discavered bike! guis do not record same video for too many times
There are sprays you can buy that will kill the mold or mildew!
Cheers,
Zach
Nice vid Zach. One question, will this get rid of the musty smell from my air vents/system? is there anything else i should do to rid the smell?
Not at the moment sorry.
Zach
Do you have a video of changing the front turn signal bulbs?
