I've seen those but I went with a local seller, just because I know I can find them if I have to. I might try the less expensive one next time.

Thanks Rizbel for the DIY instructions.

Do we have to buy 2 of them?

Yes. You need one on each side. There are 2 filters to change.

does the 2008 550i have one or two microfilter(s)? and why would it need two if it actually does? Is the charcoal filter better or the plain cotton filters?
