HOW TO: Replace Cabin Air Filter and Recirculation Filter BMW 7 series (e38) 

I have a 2001 E38 M Sport, appreciate your detailed example, especially on the driver’s side filter replacement. Thank you…

great video, driver side is PIA, ( more importantly, now know how to remove brake release)

Great video with really clear explanation and camera shots.

thank you!! i'm completely new to taking care of my own car and i'm starting with the basics, and i didn't even know there were several cabin air filters. not a lot of videos are so clear and detailed, and i feel like i can take care of this on my own instead of going to the dealership. great video!

Great video. I’ve got a Dinan7 and will be doing this same maintenance shortly

I've got a 96' 740IL and had no idea or even thought about it, but now I'll give it a try and change the ones under the hood and may even try the one behind the glove box, but I'll get you to change the one on drivers side... lol!

Thank you so much man. I wasn't sure how to get to the steering column on my e38 to replace it with a better one. It had play when I drive. Didn't want to bring it to the shop and had to pay alot to get it replace. You saved me alot of money and time, pluss I got knowledge to do it myself. Thanks again. Also thanks for the info about the air filter on the driver side. Didn't know about it.

Damn, didnt even know these cabin filters existed. Thanks a million. Now time to change mine out.

Again AR, thanks! I left you a comment on the CCV valve video too. You da man! Love that Euro plate on ur baby, lol, Dora’s(my 740)Dad.

Well done video. Looking forward to checking out more of your content

Hey man! Can you do a video - how to clean your A\C with a special foam to eliminate the bad smell? There is nothing for e38 on youtube(

Nice, on my todo list ✊

Great video, thanks! Can you do one on how to open a glove box that has the lock broken? Also when replacing the inside filters, do you buy new ones or do you just wash the filter material are re-use it? Thanks!

Thanks! Very helpful!

Love your videos, thanks.

Would be interesting to see how dirty it gets maybe 12 months after you did the swap to new filters.

my european 1996 728i doesnt have these interior filters... Any idea where they could be?

Thanks!!!

What is the purpose of changing out the filters shown in this particular video? Is it for air conditioning or engine performance if neither one What sure they for. I have a few diff things going on with my car atm and one being zero power, replaced few things but obviously not the right thing. Now I have water pouring from bottom of oil Pan. It’s not coming from there but running from up behind oil Pan and belt. Water pump is pumping,radiator and expansion tank isn’t cracked so idk what else it could be

I only found out about these filters AFTER I put my dash back together☹️

E39 has similar ventilation, but it doesnt have any filters....

So I order both sets off pelicanparts? 4 total?

is this the reason i have a gasoline smell in the inside? bcus i just got a 1998 740i?
