About 3 weeks ago i serviced my BMW E36, and one of the items that were due was the micro filter. I was unsure where the filter was, so i googled and watched videos on Youtube regarding where it was. It all came down to having remove the passenger aircon vents and glove box to get access to the filter. It looked like quite a bit of work, espcially just to replace a small filter knowing where the E46 and E90's are and knowing how easy it is on those shapes, but i began stripping down the vents and glove box.
I did all what had been showed on Youtube and said on the internet, but still no luck, no filter at all.
It then hit me, the vidoes were all from the USA and UK, therefore the steering wheel was on the opposite side of the car.. I then took the panel off under the steering wheel, and there the filter was. 10 min job.![Bangdesk]( "Bangdesk")
although one would still consider it being under the passenger glovebox even if it was a right or left hand drive car.
Just wanted to put it out here on the forum, just incase anyone decides to change theirs on a E36.
