Well it was MUCH easier then I thought to remove it and only took 20 minutes but here is what an 11 year old Microfilter looks like compared to a brand new one... :eek:

[gota525i]

This is what it looked like inside where the filter fits in... :eek:

question :) why hadn't your microfilter been changed in 11 years?

LOL, good question. Just bought the car from my best friends cousin last month and I know for SURE he never changed it, nor do I think he knew he had one..Other things he did but this, nope. :D

[shragon]

nasty! hope you stuck a vacuum in there!

i know, always thought that the 318 didn't have one only six cylinders

[jimmyz2]

Man,I hope you guy's change your 'draws more often than your micro filter. :D

yes there is one. it's a PITA to do the first time around but i think you have to remove the shit under the glove box and it's like behind the OBC. you might shit your pants when the plastic snaps while you are trying to put it in but it's suppose to do that.

Ooh, looks gangsta. :)

I don't think i'd want to be able to say "your microfilter isn't bad, check out mine!" That's like comparing oil filters... "Yeah, well look how much metal is in mine... impressive huh!"

[kmwheel]

:lol
No, it's just sad that some people never change them. that is what mine looked like after I bought the car last yr. I find it amusing when comparing microfilters, because most people don't even realize they have one. Like me for a few months before I actually drove my car after winter.

And there is no correlation to oil filters, your car isn't going to break down from a dirty cabin filter... :nono

[epj3]

I dont even want to know how much dirt is all over the interior of my car since i don't have a micro filter.

[crotter]

yikes! :eek: Anyone know if my '87 E30 is equipped with a micro filter? As far as i can remember e30's dont have them but i may be wrong...

[kmwheel]

I don't know if this is right but etk gave me a part number for the e30 325i
64 31 1 394 093? So I guess that means you have one

[crotter]

uh oh... im sure mine is in dire need of replacement then...!

[epj3]

yikes! :eek: Anyone know if my '87 E30 is equipped with a micro filter? As far as i can remember e30's dont have them but i may be wrong...
Nope e30's didn't have 'em - at least, my 1988 325is didn't.

Was merely an anology.. and your car wouldnt break down from bits of metal in the oil filter... it'd be completely facked.

What you guys have ain't shit. Last summer I opened my father's air intake in 1993 Fiat Chroma after he kept complaining that from time to time he can smell shit inside the car, yet never found any. Long story short for ~2 years some lucky mouse had a very successful nest right in front of the A/C evaporator. That little bastard had kids in there and than successfully died of natural causes, while my dad was smelling the whole thing! In the nest we found receipts from the grocery stores, my sister's gloves, parts of the Fiat's user guide and such. Too bad I did not take any pictures, but that was funny as hell.
