It’s mounted in the HVAC microfilter housing, commonly accessed from behind the glove box.

The engine air filter cleans intake air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.
On the 2024 BMW Alpina-Xb7, both filters are service items with distinct jobs: one protects the engine, the other protects occupants. Replacing them on time preserves performance, HVAC efficiency, and in-cabin air quality during Massachusetts pollen and winter seasons.

- Both should meet BMWs OEM filtration and fit specifications.
