Anyone got one or seen a pollen filter in a E30? I red some where that cars with climate control have them and also read that late cars without ac have them
Mine has the climate control but doesn't have the filter....

I have never heard of one for the E30....I suppose you could make up one yourself where the air enters the cabin.

Have you looked at bmwfans.info for the newer models of E30 and see if that part is listed? :?

There's one listed on real oem, but only for non-aircon cars, and no real clues in the pictures of the heater box for where it goes.
cheers,

Its basically an AC box and the filter goes where the AC evaporator would be. Quite difficult to change on a RHD car but the filter does come broken in to sections to clear the column etc.
