Decided to change my cabin filter today, I’m gonna be honest and forgot these had them. I think the P/O forgot to, the old one was dated May of 2003. Quick little before and after. Ofc bought the Mann filter, gotta keep it OEM ????
I switched to a Mazda 3 as a daily but I loved the CX-50, CX-5, and no doubt in my mind the Mazda 6 holds its place.\n\nThe layout under the hood was similar to my 13' fusion. Changing oil was easier, engine air filter was easier, cabin air filter was easier.
I bought a MANN filter for \\~$20 on Amazon and swapped it myself in under 30 minutes with a YouTube video.
Tbf, cabin filter always overpriced on BMW authorized dealer. At my local dealer, a standard carbon filter
(made by MANN) is thrice the price if you buy the same MANN filter without the BMW logo on it.
Cabin air filters are dirt cheap and easy to swap yourself, but people forget about them and shops love to charge stupid amounts of money to replace them for you.
The cabin air filter is one of the easiest I have ever replaced, you don't have to pull the whole glove box out in order to get to it.
Using the reg of a 2015 MK7 golf I used to own, you can get a MANN cabin filter for £20 (high quality top end, can get much much cheaper), and they’re super easy to replace yourself (2mins).
Those prices are for genuine filters. Mazda chamrge an effing BOMB for their carbon cabin filters.
I did the same mistake and bought these filters. They suck, just buy OEM or MANN filters (they are the same as OEM)
Given that they're charging $95 for a cabin air filter, it's highly likely that they're overpriced.
