MINI Cabin Air Filter group buy

I finally decided to change my cabin air filter in 2 years of driving. (i tried vaccumm it the first time but this time i found rather large bugs...)

Dealer charges you $50~$70 whereas it only takes you literally 2 minutes to change it yourself.

Well I bought a pack of 2 to cut the shipping cost, so whoever is thinking of changing their air filters I got one more.

Bought it for $36.63 CAD; just give me $18 is fine.

it's pretty easy; pop your glove compartment down and you will see a rectangular white box (filter) with a cylindrical box right under (fan). it's just a clip which you pull from the side and it comes right off. i think there's a write up in the how-to section too.

Trust me just take off your glove-box, and you'll see the round white thing the rest is EZ.
