In searching the threads I see some folks have used cabin microfilters purchased on eBay or other sources in place of the oem BMW parts. Are you happy with the quality or am I really getting something different/better from BMW? Here in Canada the cost is triple at the dealer vs. aftermarket suppliers.

Go aftermarket your not going to notice any difference at all.

Just make sure they are active carbon filters... or something along those lines... I forget the exact wording. Some are just plain ol' paper filters.
