DIY: Cabin Air Filter
Found this guide from Mann if you are interested in changing out your cabin air filter. Looks like a piece of cake...

Why they make it so difficult....In Lexus you dont need any tools, its automatic "door" in glovebox that opens with a press of a button and you take the filter out

MANN CUK 25001 or bmw part # 64 11 9 237 555 for my m235 '15 for example.
I went with a MANN filter as I replace them myself, diligently.

Thanks for the info! Mine started to stink a bit. I think it's time!

Replaced Mine But Different
My 2015 did not have the setup as listed in the Mann Filter "How-To".
. How I replaced. 1. Removed the (2) 10mm nuts found under the glove box. 2. Removed plastic cover with a plastic tool by prying off the cover and unsnapping the (2) clips as seen in the photo. 3. With access to the filter housing , I removed the (2) #20 torx screws and unclipped the side and middle clip and removed the cover. 4. The cabin filter sits vertical and slides out the bottom - As seen in photo. Comparison of old/new: Old on the left |

Great link, thanks. I'd been told 'it takes tools, buried up in the dash, need dealer to do it'. Obviously not entirely true, looks pretty simple.
And a trick I've learned to help prevent the moldy smell is to try to remember when running AC to just run plain air for the last 5 min or so of the trip. This helps dry out the condenser so there is less to grow on. They also say you can spray up in there w/ Lysol (or some hyper-expensive special cleaning spray) but I've never been that daring. |

I change mine when the clocks change. Twice a year. Keeps the A/C working nicely and is good insurance from errant smells. Takes about 10 minutes once you've done it before. ///Rich |
