Mann Filter CUK 2533-2 🚗 Carbon Cabin Filter with Enhanced Activation Review

Once I decided to save money and put in a cheaper cabin filter, I immediately felt the difference: if with Mann extraneous odors practically do not penetrate into the cabin, then with a cheaper filter, smoke is felt from every passing car.

Ideal as an OEM. Installed on 2015 BMW Alpina B7, therefore suitable for all F01-F02 models. Much better price than the thief wanted!

Well it's a couple of filters. Fits my 740 perfectly, just like the original, at a much lower price than the dealer and 5 minutes to swap out. An easy way to keep some money in your pocket.

The cabin air filter is a simple maintenance item that requires frequent maintenance. This activated carbon filter works great. The musty smell from the air vents is gone now. Hooray!

This pair is the correct model for my 2011 535i. The picture shows what happens after 5 years of use, so it's a good idea to change it after a year. Many good forums have step-by-step instructions on how to change the filter. It's not difficult if you don't worry about removing the airbag :)

I don't know about these things. Installation instructions were unnecessary but very nice. Compared to the Mahle, the frame is a bit wobbly, and in general the whole thing is too soft (perhaps it can be mounted better that way). If it filters normally then everything should be fine. Installation is a nightmare, but the car's design is to blame, not the product itself.

Fitting these filters on a BMW is a complex process. You absolutely must disconnect the battery so the airbag doesn't accidentally deploy because your head is right there. You'll also need to curl up into a pretzel to hold it in place. This is not due to the filter, but simply to the design of the car. Good guide and I did it. Now the car smells much better and I saved a lot of money.

Perfect fit! No slack, won't fall out, and don't need to be held when changing. No more musty smell when the air conditioner is on. A full overhaul will likely require the air conditioning to be cleaned, but they replaced the original factory filters so they still needed to be replaced. More expensive than some of the other "similar" filters at Revain, but there have been complaints that they don't exactly fit. This is still a lot cheaper than direct through BMW.

Perfect for my 2014 BMW 520i. It took 30 minutes to install, but that's because it's my first time doing it, next time I think it will take less time and effort. The filter worked the same as the original BMW filter (made by MAHLE), I couldn't tell any difference. It's a lot cheaper than a BMW filter. I have attached photos of the Mann filter and the previous filter (Original BMW by MAHLE) that was previously installed on my car. The battery did not have to be disconnected for installation…

Excellent filters, replacement for the original BMW 535i series. They come with a printed guide with photos showing how to swap them out step by step. There are also many videos on YouTube. They're quite difficult to install, not because of the filters themselves, but because of BMW's over-engineering. You will need to remove the 2 10mm screws and 1 torx screw securing the knee panel that contains the airbag(!). The filter housing then has 4 more Torx screws. The filters are excellent…
