Did it yesterday and it took about half an hour. One note - my car is a vert and the glove box door locks with the rest of the car so there are a couple extra wires to keep track of. No big deal, I didn’t disconnect any wires anyway and just let the glove box hang there while changing the filter.

The old filter was NASTY and all kinds of debris came out with it. Thanks for this post.

Tony-
I have learned that one should use information put out on websites as an addition to that found in the Bentley manual. I feel for Grumpy, but if he does not have a Bentley manual he will have bigger issues ahead.

You fail to mention that this site is based on a left hand drive !
I ripped out all my glove box and couldnt find the filter.
If you said it is located in the middle of the car with access to it from the right side I could have done it in less than 10 mins

Hi,

I just came upon your website, and I think it’s great. I have a US Spec 96 328is with OEM headlamps. I tried adjusting them tonight turning both screws with a 6mm allen wrench. The screws turned but the lamp remained fixed. My left lamp is too low, and it’s a bit too centered. Can you help please?

The two screws I tried turning are white in color and they are attached to the headlamp assembly. Are these the correct ones? Could they be broken? Thanks for your help in advance!
