Actually now that I see you drive an E46, I'm not sure this is the right part for you.
I thought you were looking for the E9X part #.

Thanks for the DIY OP. Thread Bump!
I purchased these MANN filters and installed them today. They do not fit well and do not seal on the short ends. Mine were sized a bit long, and when installed the paper edge would buckle to fit (sometimes at the end, sometimes near the middle). The short ends create no seal at all. Air can just blow by. I will pay for OEM next time, if only to have a fully functional part. |

This was my impression too. I won't be buying again, I sealed the edges with blue tape but I don't want crap fitment even at a steep discount, if I wanted that I'd just do the Burger filters, which I might still do actually, because racecarstreetcar weight savings!

My reference was RealOEM which currently lists them for 04 Housing, microfilter top section, left 1 64316958815 $22.14 +core 05 Housing, microfilter top section, right 1 64316958816 $22.14 +core Appears pricing has changed some and has a core charge attached. I do not believe I paid 50 bucks each, but I could be wrong. It's been around a year I think. I replaced both sides. My online sources are all listing 50-60 dollar range now for them, sorry.

They (mann) must not have very consistent manufacturing methods because mine were really snug.

I'm sure they have a +/- pleat count and height required when making this PN as well as a trim width tolerance.
We make filters for a living so I know a bit about filter media, process etc. MANN is actually a competitor to us as well as a customer (private label). |

In case anyone is trolling this thread, I found these carbon air filters recently on Amazon:

UPDATE
UPDATE
The OEM BMW filter set (includes all four filters) is now $49.49, so no need to buy Amazon filters. Part Number 64-31-9-159-606 Use getbmwparts or your local dealer's online store. Free shipping if you use your local dealer and pickup at the dealer. I was also buying other things which qualified for free shipping on getbmwparts. I was googling replacing e9x M3 cabin filters and this thread is the top result but talks about OEM filters being over $100 which isn't the case anymore. So I thought I'd try to help out others here, you can go back to buying OEM as it costs the same as the Amazon filters now.

Yes I believe so too. Not sure why the OP wrote "make sure the filter is oriented the right way" and then failed to explain what the right direction is, and also posted the picture backwards

What to do when the cowling threads are stripped? Is there an ‘easy’ fix? 🤔
