Z3 Cabin Air FIlter?

[Geoff]

I have a 2000 Z3 Roadster. Does this car have a cabin air filter? If so, where is it located?

Doesn't have one, none of them do

Just found this thread --- having spend ages looking for the cabin filter !!!!! Is it correct, there is no cabin filter in a Z3? Not even the later models?

No. Never. Just a wire mesh for leaves etc.

You have to locate the blower motor which is located behind the windshield wiper cowl.
Turn ignition to 1st click, rotate the blower control to max pop the bonnet and the noise will guide you.

The fact that they don't have one helped me weed out a shop that was insistent that I needed mine changed - and submitted it as a part of an estimate of work they thought needed to be done.

Thanks @Zephyr that's really helpful knowledge.
