I bought mine from Garry Romani (he's a prominent vendor on this forum). Tischer BMW is another option. Both are equally suitable IMHO.

I thought I've seen Ebay selling packages for cheap, but unsure if they were charcoal ones or not.

I just got some yesterday in the mail from Amazon. Dealer was going to charge me $160! I mistakenly bought paper filter last year, and put in the charcoal, made a huge difference already in the smell.

Only $40 for both!

We sell OE MANN Cabin Filters. $27 each x 2 = $54 plus $5 shipping

K&N is overrated IMO. Just stick with OEM. Order my OEM air filter from the bmwpartstore for around $25. Had free shipping since my order was more than $99 but normal shipping charges were around $4. Got it within 3 business days.

As for cabin filter, I think John has the best price if I'm not mistaken.
