I remember reading somewhere that it is every other oil change but I may be wrong because I've had four oil changes so far an no microfilter change yet.

Im pretty sure that the microfilter should only be changed after many many miles, like Mr. 5 said. Isnt it in the manual?

My car is now at 70,000km (43,000 miles). I'm thinking it's about time I change mine. Is it better to wait for the summer time? Or should I just change it soon with winter and snow approaching.. or, maybe it just doesn't matter.

I believe BMW recommends changing these cabin filters every 15,000 mi (down from 30,000 mi originally). A lot will depends on where you live, and drive. I asked my SA to have the tech change mine at 15,000 and they were pretty cool about it.

The microfilter is a condition based service per the local dealer, no set time or milage interval. I bought one and changed it anyway at 12k but I have severe allergies and it did help some by changing it in my Acura.

Just change it once a year. It cleans the air you breathe in the car and it's only 30 bucks!

The computer will tell you if your software hasn't been updated. If you have the updated software, you will not see the microfilter and spark plug service info or screens if you have the iDrive.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I could not find anything that says exactly when to change this filter. In one part of the Service/Warranty booklet it says it is based on the CBS, but somewhere else it says the CBS doesn't tell when to change it. I also couldn't find any specifics in the Bentley Manual, although I didn't look thoroughly through it.

The Engine air filter has a replacable element and a non replacable charcoal filter (built into the air intake box). The engine air filter element has a scheduled replacement every 3rd oil change (on the BMW CBS schedule of approximately 15,000 miles) so about every 45,000 to 50,000 miles. The Cabin air filter is a replaceable charcoal air filter element and is located under the hood on the cowling between the wiper arms (not actually in the "engine compartment"). The schedule for replacement of the cabin air filter is determined by the CBS. There is a notification icon in the CBS that has a box with dots in it with a fan blade symbol above it. The symbol is in the owners manual in the section on controls (around page 40 I think). |

I do not think it is CBS in the newer years of the E90. My 2008 orginally had the icon for cabin filter change. This, and other CBS icons disappeared when my software was updated, during replacement of a failed CCC (iDrive and Nav computer).
