How often do you all change your cabin/pollen filter?
Just took mine for it's yearly oil change and the pollen done even though I had it done last year? Does it really need doing yearly?

Re: Pollen Filter
It doesn’t need to be changed, however roads are the most polluted air corridors going, so for health reasons I would prefer to change mine regularly. They are activated carbon filters.

Re: Pollen Filter
If you ever take them out and look at the colour of them you will want to change them yearly 
I changed mine every 30k on my 3er, it's black, Goes in white!

Yeah true. Guess it is only the same as an Air Filter thinking about it. I wouldn't dream of leaving that in for over a year..MontegoBlue wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 8:16 pmIf you ever take them out and look at the colour of them you will want to change them yearly
