I have bought and fitted the carbon cabin filters made by Mahle (Germany).In the UK they are about half the price of the BMW ones, but not as cheap as those eBay items.I think I would be put off by the very low price.

my car started to have a smell now when the cabin gets hot.. is that because of my filter being bad?? i clean the cabin from the top to bottom and still there is a smell.

This is what's putting me off - the necessity to mod.
