They also wanted around $400 to replace the micro filters. Is this something that I can do myself? Can I get the filters at a parts store or must I get them from the dealer?

But why complain about it being a money pit if you willfully don't care what they charge and let them bend you over for 'convenience'?

[Tough love off]

Go to getbmwparts.com This is an internet 'storefront' for Tischer BMW. Order the cabin microfitler and the air intake filter. Perhaps order two or three so you have them when you need them again. Maybe get a oil filter/change kit or two.

I will only buy OE BMW parts, for the most part, so I use BMW dealers- internet stores or brick. Sometimes I shop for price, sometimes not- depends on the urgency. But I always know what I am paying and how it compares to the best prices.
