Many MINI Cooper owners aren't even aware of the little air filter inside their cabin. Not to be confused with the engine's air filter, the A/C cabin filter is designed to clean the air inside your car. One way to tell if this air filter needs to be replaced is to turn on your air conditioning system and see if a) it has lost some of its force, or b) it smells like you're sticking your face in the exhaust of your shop vac. If this happens, change your filter. You'll find it at the underside of your glove box. Buy a replacement - either the dust-trapping electrostatic filter or, to help remove unpleasant odors inside the cabin, the carbon filter - and slide it in. (Note: save a little time and frustration by noting how the old filter came out and the new one will slide in easy.) Depending upon the type of driving you do - in traffic, dusty conditions, etc., - you should change your filter annually.
