So my 2005 745i says that it needs the microfilter changed. Do I change the cabin filter and the air filter? Or just the cabin filter?

How often do these cars need new engine air filters? There is no CBS for it in the iDrive....

Thanks

The filters are that cheap anyway i'd just change them all .....super easy ...will take you all of 2 mins to do.......:thumbup:

You'll need one Air Filter and 2 Microfilters there's one on each side in the engine bay.
Tech would u recommend K&N intake filter? My friend used one on 2001 330ci and he started to have problems with airflow and engine light started coming up. So guy at INDI shop told him that could be the cause. I used k&n on my Nissan with short ram and chained MAF sensor manytimes. 500$ a piece. So what can u say bout k$n high flow reusable air filter. Thx
