I want to order the cabin filter package [which should be a set of 2 filters] for my '05 530i.

Went to Autozone, and nothing was there on the shelf, special order.

So, I figure why not order on line?

I read how other owners ordered parts from Amazon, which surprised me 'cause I thought it was a book store.

Is this the
part that I can order part that I can order
from Amazon to fit my vehicle?

Thx for your input!!

that doenst look right. it should be rectangular, without the angled corner.
plus the bmw filters have charcoal in them for odors.

Look for a parts retailer selling Mahle or Mann cabin filters (both German) - they are OEM quality and cost less than the BMW parts.
The Mahle part number is LAK 197
