Default Extremely Dirty Cabin Air Filter
Checked my Cabin Air Filter for the first time and I was surprised by how dirty it was after only 50k Miles. Be sure to check yours!!!

That actually looks pretty good for 50,000 miles!

Probably want to check it every other oil change and replace it when you can't see light thru it when you hold it up to the sun. They run about $15 online.

I thought the airflow come in from the roof and not the vents, always top down. I never have my fan on but did check the filters and they looked similar, previous owners must have missed this.

That is fairly normal. I change mine every 2-3 years.

Haha, yeah I got my S about 7 months ago and never thought to check it. Glad I did though!
