I think that it should be a free service to get it replaced at any BMW shop - just to send them a message. If it has to be changed regularly, make it easy to service!! And I've done it before, know how to do it, but it's still a PITA!
Thanks, feel better now.... Will go sit in the vastly improved air flow and chill.

The first time stunk, the second time was easy. The third time was even easier.
The easiest filter change I had to do was in my wife's Volvo 850 - the filter was on the passenger side on the cowl, it wasn't a factory install but was an option you could buy. Took 5 minutes for the initial install and 2 minutes afterwards to change the thing.
Why did they put in a microfilter in the first place? Just one more useless piece of crap in the "modern" car.

Good god - the microfilter is one of the greatest features of my car!Originally Posted by Gene in NC
Have you seen the **** it filters out? Not to mention that it keeps all that crap from clogging the fins of the heater core and such.
I thought it was pretty easy to change, too. The worst part was just finding it for the first time.
In the E34 it was more of an afterthought, they only put them in 91-onwards. You might notice that on the E39, it's just a five minute job to replace them, they're right near the intake.
Hooray! Let me know if you ever need a hand on the E36!!! Congratulations!Originally Posted by ScottyWM
