The part isn't expensive.
Experts?

The drier is not a wear part. It should never have to be replaced on a x5. Even if the system is opened for more than 24 hrs. The drier is an insert on all x5s. During a certain production period, the condenser was redesigned and the old drier insert is no longer available. If you must replace it, the entire condenser must be replaced. So inexpensive? I don't think so.
If you can explain how smog can get into a closed system, the guys at NASA have a job waiting for you.
