Approaching 7k miles on 2018 GSW S 4motion 6mt, loving the car. -Warranty work to clean musty smell out of HVAC system, and replace cabin filter. This was performed free during first oil change. Dealership was excellent throughout the process and told me to not run recirc before shutting the car off.
Pros: Dealership was excellent
Cons: musty smell out
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 11265 km
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 initially
Cons: smell eventually returns

BMW

I can't verify but it does seem like the OEM cabin filter in the Atlas is not charcoal activated, as I'm noticing all kinds of odors (including washer fluid) that I never got while driving my '08 Jetta with an activated charcoal filter.
Cons: not charcoal activated
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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.

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.
