Default Musty A/C Smell - Any ideas??

Has ANyone tried the following?? on an E60??? How did it work?? What was the procedure did you use?? Any thoughts and ideas on doing this?? The dealer says this is not covered under warranty and wants to charge $175 to do this process... he says it is done after removing the cabin filters through the intake there... Any DIY procedure on this??

instead of einszett, i used a bathroom cleaner "scrubbing bubbes". it has enzymes which is suppose to be good at cleaning. i took the filters off, and had the fan near high and sprayed almost a whole can into the two intakes, with a bunch of foam and all.
did this a few weeks ago, and so far so good.
