Just wondering if anyone knows where the cabin filters are located? From what I can find there are two and just want to change them since there isn't quite alot of air coming from the vents.

Rear of engine bay, behind each strut.

Easy to change?

Very easy.

Thanks for the help.

Hoping for some increased air flow and reduced musty smell :zzz:

I haven't ordered them yet but will be from bimmerspecialist.ca.

They have two different model #'s listed so I just have to figure out which it is, they are 20-30 each.
