Opparts XC26078C Cabin Air Filter - Front

Cabin Air Filter Overview

The ECOGARD XC26078C cabin air filter is built with carbon media and OEM-style materials to help maintain clean airflow inside the vehicle. It is a fitment-based replacement for select BMW models, including BMW 530i, BMW 528i, and BMW 650Ci applications.

Key Features

• Carbon filter media helps capture airborne particulate and reduce unwanted cabin odors.
• Constructed with materials matched to OEM-style filtration standards.
• Designed to maintain airflow with minimal restriction through the HVAC system.
• Fitment covers multiple BMW 5 Series, 6 Series, and M models.
• Part number XC26078C for easy catalog matching and replacement lookup.

Detailed Description

The ECOGARD XC26078C is a carbon cabin air filter for select BMW vehicles, including 2004-2010 BMW 525i, 530i, 545i, 550i, 650Ci, 650i, M5, and M6 applications, plus additional 2008-2013 BMW 528i and 530i fitments. Its carbon media is intended to help remove fine airborne particles while keeping air resistance low, which supports steady HVAC performance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Dust and pollen entering the cabin through the HVAC intake
• Reduced airflow caused by a loaded or restricted filter
• Odors passing through the ventilation system
• Loss of filtration performance from an aging cabin filter

Installation Notes and Tips

Fitment varies by BMW model and year, with some applications located under the glove box and others under the hood. Review the vehicle notes before ordering, and match the part number XC26078C to the existing filter dimensions and application details. On listed BMW 528i, 535i, 550i, and M6 fitments, the notes indicate tool-free installation and short service time.

Quality Assurance

ECOGARD cabin filters are constructed using OEM-style materials to support particulate removal with low airflow restriction. The XC26078C is cataloged for direct replacement use across the listed BMW applications.
