no. costs a lot more, and still needs to be changed annually,
that pdf has some differences compared to the e34.
follow mine Jehu. will only take you 20 minutes or so to complete

I'm already proficient at it, but others might benefit from your tutorial. The E34 is a bit unique!Originally Posted by attack eagle
Was there supposed to be a link in your reply?
Actually, now that I've switched to a browser that will open a PDF, I see the instructions in the first link are for both 5 and 7-series cars. One thing I might add, at least on my 10/95 production car, I found it easier to remove the limit "switch" that sits toward the front of the car from the filter housing, just to get the wiring loom and those blue, white, and black connectors out of the way. Just press up on the lever and slide it out.

Activated charcoal? I didn't even know that exist... where do you buy it? That would get rid of 'crayon' smell in the car... and keep it smelling nice.

I wash mine every spring. I shake the dust off, spray it with the K&N filter cleaner stuff, let it sit a while then I rince it out with hot water. I inspect it to see if there are any rips or tears but none so far and it turns out like new and no bizarre smell...

I've done mine many times already...could do it blindfolded but i use the recycle setting frequently becasue I have been unsuccessfull in getting the mildew smell eliminated even with the bleach spray so mine gets clogged quickly.

What you need is evaporator cleaner stuff... I got extra over here... you fill up the evaporator. heater core with the whole can of foaming spray and have your AC on while you are doing this... eventually everything get washed out and nice smelling. This is best done in the spring or summer so the evaporator will catch water and wash out the foam detergent.
They want you to inject the evaporator area via the drain plug... I find whatever way I can to inject them in.
