E34 Pollen Filter - where is it?

[razman]

Can't find it anywhere - can anyone help me out?

Do you mean the microfilter? If so, look at the maintenance section on www.bmwe34.net - there's a pictorial replacement guide on there.

For LHD, mind, but RHD ought to be similar enough.

Marshy, you are a STAR !!

Loads of good info there - I'll have a long read after I attack this filter thingy.

Thanks Lots of good stuff in the forum at www.bimmer.info too.

I just need to figure out what they mean in terms of part numbers in reference to the Sachs shock/spring kit they all bloody rave about...

Don't forget this is a US site so when they refer to removing the glovebox it's for a left hand drive vehicle. On a UK car you need to work from the drivers side.

I have just done a pollen filter on an e36 and almost made the same mistake when getting instructions from a US site. Thankfully I also saw instructions on e36coupe.com, a UK site, which saved me pulling the wrong side of the car apart.
