Why the hell would a mechanic access the cabin Microfilter.....

[Chris'91'525i]

9/91 most cars didn't have them. Only after. If your car had one then will have a decal in the glove box about it.

This car had a couple of them installed according to the service records I got with it.
Car was bought in Germany by an Air Force Officer and was religiously serviced by the dealer, till he gave the car to his sister a couple years ago. That is when it seems the car wasn't serviced as much as before.
Plus I couldn't imagine what 15 years without a filter would look like.
I'd say for this one, it was a couple years without one.

I agree about changing the filter, it is pretty easy. Just spending an hour trying to throughly cleaning the Evap. was the killer. I'm a big guy too (6'-5") which didn't help.

Thats kind of lame, that BMW would design it for use with a filter, but not deliver it with one installed.

Do they help you go faster or just grow fatter?

Don't stress Jeff, at least you can get a new steering wheel anytime you want, needn't stress when fixing something in the dash that it will blow up in your face...

Besides, if you write off your 5er, who tf wants to live anyway??? nick
