[QUOTE="xcrave, post: 573136, member: 21738"] Yes it is the Microfilter: [IMG]http://www.realoem.com/bmw/diagrams/t/x/24.png[/IMG] Refer to Item # 1 THEN... go under it to clean those Ducts... I use those Dettol Spray (the bad smell and such actually because of Poor BMW Design for their dual use of Heater and A/C... It is supposed that if using the Heater during cold weather Heater will kill all of the germs but in Asia we are using full A/C and this will not help the design ... so thats what happened guys... [B][COLOR="Red"]***TIPS : Please Change your micro Filter to "Carbon" Type as it is a natural ANTI BACTERIA [/COLOR][/B] Im going to change mine soon to the Carbon Charged Micro FIlter... i just found out that the OEM Microfilter will breed bacteria the best... :( [IMG]http://www.realoem.com/bmw/diagrams/g/h/25.png[/IMG] You can safely dissemble the whole thing actually... but be extra careful with the wiper housing as it crackles the last time i make the DIY... too old ody those plastics i guess :) Aircond Smell and Poor Flow... all related problem actually can DIY if you have time: I did Mine... and im gonna do it in this weekends so i will post pictures hopefully... :) But you need to get to these items!

The AC will need to be cleaned throughly and if you think you can ruin your AC by DIY... are you 100% sure the other "Human" that will service you car will be as careful as you? [/QUOTE]
