Where is my pollen filter?

Should have checked this first. Looks like it could be at the back of engine compartment under the windscreen wipers (but not like the pic I have seen of e46). Or is it under the dash like the old e36

Thanks
 
behind the glovebox. (not like the e46 which is under the windshield wipers).
3 screws under your glovebox. remove, open the plastic tab, and swap filters.
 
Mine's a 53 plate 2.5 and the fuse box is behind my glove box.

Under the glove box I removed the tray in the roof of the footwell but saw nothing looking like a filter housing, just loads of wiring and what I presume was part of the heating.

Am I missing something obvious here?

Cheers & thanks

Yes it is right up behind the glove box (on right hand drive cars).

£40 for the filter alone! Good job it is only on Inspection 2. I have a pic if anyone wants to see

Thanks again

A photo of the filter location would be very helpful.

If I drop the glove box down, the fuse box is behind it to the left, and a black metal plate to the right with the fuse card attached.

Mines a 53 plate, perhaps it hasn't got one, or perhaps I'm a numpty?

Cheers
Lance
