Man, I don't think the dealership who sold me my car did anything to it upon receipt. I don't think these have ever been changed.

They probably have been changed, genuine filters have a production date on them somewhere.
You just bought cheap ass non activated carbon replacements, that is why they are white.... |

I'm trying to get rid of it anyway. I just bought something from ECS. Too much of a headache, and not enough time to deal with said headache b |

Don't mess with the airbag plug, just work around it. I went in there and in the process of trying to get it out, broke some plastic piece which threw off a voltage reading which endlessly threw codes and brought up a warning on the display. Had to get the sensor repaired by my indie. Luckily he's an honest guy and only charged me 1.5 hr diagnosis & repair.

As for the dealerships, I'm thinking they do less and less on used cars. Had a Jaguar dealer try to sell me a XJ with divots in the rims as a CPO. Errm, Grumpy Cat says NO! Some of the cars at the local Carmax look great, whilst others are filthy inside. I can only assume the clean ones came from careful owners. |

That gray color is how the BMW ones look when new, from the carbon, so they may have been changed properly.
Recently did mine too. This is a great video on it:

Is this the same (video) procedure for a 2016 LCI 550i? Looks to be a bigger PITA than my G37s where I had to pull the entire glove box to get to it....

I change mine once a year or so. Pretty easy to do and not worth paying the ridiculous amount of $$$ dealer charges.

I got mine from this place on amazon for $50 a pack and it takes me about 20 mins to change them.....dealer wanted $280
OEM is made by Mahle so why not directly go to the source and cut Bmw out of the way. MAHLE Original LAK 467/S Cabin Air Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0068N0SHI..._KzLZCb415YJVY
