Microfilter and cabin filter - how to change?

I bought my M2 used so I don't get "free" maintenance. The manual doesn't show how to change the filters. A forum search turned up nothing. So, how do I change the filters? How many filters does the M2 have?

You can, I believe, transfer the maintenance warranty for a small fee...I'd look into that...no idea how to do the micro/cabin filter but I can't imagine its very hard

May be a Waste

I thought about that but it would be a waste of funds if I don't keep the car for the duration. The original maintenance didn't transfer - that money was lost (even though built-in to purchase price).

(Why wouldn't I keep it? M2 CS MT)

And I stand corrected - I don't think you can transfer it anyway...I swore I saw a post on here saying someone was able to pay a fee to get it transferred...but who knows

You can transfer the maintenance for about 600 bucks. I have no idea where the cabin filter is on the M2, it's usually in the engine bay.

Sometimes they do. But they will tell you its because of the compact packaging.

I just changed my cabin microfilter and the process was as shown in the 3-series video above except the M2 doesn't have the 12V accessory connection. Thanks to Hasan for the post.

The BMW's are easy compared to the aggravation of a Volvo XC60

To be honest, I've done carbin filter replacement on the GH (2nd gen) Mazda6, that was the easiest I have ever seen, as easy as washing the HEPA filter for Dyson.

Well of course the previous dealer installed filter was facing the wrong direction.
