I’ve had my i4 for over two years. Maintenance costs have been $0 but BMW gives you three years of free maintenance. When I have brought it in, all they do is inspect the car, top off wiper fluid and replace the in cabin air filter.
Pros: free maintenance, low costs
Vehicle:
BMW
Cabin air filter is something you need to replace periodically. $130 seems high but I have tried it myself and found it to be a PITA. I took it to a dealer, who charged something like $100 but it felt worth it to me.
Pros: worth the cost
Cons: difficult to replace
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
I've had to replace the cabin filter 2-3 times because of this problem. At first the smell would go away after replacing the filter, but eventually returns, usually when spring rolls around.
Pros: smell goes away
Cons: smell eventually returns
Production markings on the side of the filter as shown in the pics above indicate that this is a BMW OEM part. I can’t imagine that Halfords would be installing genuine BMW filters. There’s no way that they changed this.

That never got replaced, the filters still look white after 2-3 years in the cars I work on, this looks 5-10 years old.
Vehicle:
BMW
That was not replaced in the last 5000mi. If you have an itemized invoice, I would check to see if it states what part was installed.
