OE quality, DIY price

Instructions were clear and really helped me diagnose a fault the dealer got wrong. As far as I can tell this is an OEM replacement and works as such.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Safety

Excellent fit for BMW F30 2014

Assumed used by manufacturer. Haven't checked. It is identical to the OEM and fits perfectly. Change the cabin filter, you will be surprised how dirty it is.

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • Easily repairable

Happy Breathing!: Replacement Parts

Fits perfectly in the interior of my 2016 340i. Visually, it appears to have less carbon than the OEM. The installation was flawless and note that the filter holder is bent. I would buy this filter again at any time. Happy Breathing!

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Zero

The quality is excellent and strong enough to bend into a "banana ".

This filter fits my m235i perfectly. The quality is excellent and strong enough to bend into a "banana" shape. There were also instructions on how to remove the air filter (including the dimensions of the tools needed)!

Pros
  • Handsome
Cons
  • Out of fashion

PERFECT FIT FOR MY 328I GT

This filter was better than the OEM filter and flexible enough to fit the curved housing. Mahle MADE IN GERMANY. Do not take your Bimmer to a dealer to have this filter replaced unless they have a free service. Can you do it yourself, I'm not a fan of cars at all, it took me 15 minutes in total.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • So far so good

Better than OEM quality

Installed a Mahle LAK 812 in my 2013 335i xdrive M Sport. It's better than OEM. OEM felt end seals will fold or bend if you're not careful. This filter flexes better and keeps the mechanical seal flat and correct with no wrinkles. Very impressive. The product is made in Germany. Bought mine from Revain.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Sad hardware

Fits good/better product

Replaces my BMW328i X Drive F30 OME cabin air filter. Feel like a better/higher quality product than OME. It comes with an installation guide (sw photo) but I recommend watching YouTube for a better understanding of the sequence because BMW makes it difficult to replace any parts. Installation wasn't difficult if you have the right tools.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Repair

Next time I'll go with the original BMW filter

I liked the quality of construction of this filter. The ends are made of plastic. He is feeling well. However, when I installed it, I turned on the AC after closing the filter holder. I found there was an awful smell of industrial dust. I pulled out the filter and it turned out that a lot of carbon material had come out. I think next time I'll use a real BMW filter. Tip: Use this time when installing to apply some felt tape to the hidden outside edges of the footwell plastic trim that youโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Retrofittable

Suitable for 2014 BMW 330i Best in Category Air Filter & Accessories

Suitable for 2014 BMW 320i Good. You actually have to loosen the nuts to remove the fairing. So you will need a 10mm wrench to remove the plate. From there I had to unplug the 12V auxiliary connector and the light (both easy to do). From there you will need a T20 Torx bit to remove the air filter bracket. The accommodation is not very obvious but it is in front of the area. Directions do not indicate which way the air is moving. In the Q&A, another reviewer pointed out that the arrow (on theโ€ฆ
