W124 Dust/Pollen Filter?

Can someone tell me whether my 1993 320E has a pollen filter? Thanks

I think so. Click on "buy parts" above. Select your car, climate control, and look for a cabin filter. If they are selling it then it is probably in the car somewhere.

Eric is 100% correct, in the US market the W124 chassis was fitted for a/c air intake filters in 1994.

Hmmm. Fastlane doesn't even show a 320E for 1993, just a 300E, and they are selling a cabin filter for it. Must be a different car. Sorry!

Many thanks folks for your comments, it's as I expected- no filter. That solves the problem of replacing it!!

If you ever need to find parts or part numbers...

Check out the EPC: http://epc.startekinfo.com/epc/

It's free for the majority of users (US). Just punch in your VIN and it'll do all the legwork. You'll just need to navigate the proper menu options for what you need.
