2012 328i Cabin Air Filter Location

I haven't opened up under the glove compartment or taking the cowell housing off to determine which is the correct location, but was surprised when my iDrive's system makes no mention of air filters -- either the engine or the cabin air filter.

I bought this cabin air filter on Amazon, but it looks way too big to go under the glove compartment, but the packaging says it fits my car. Only place this would fit is in the engine compartment.






In a US 2012 328i, is the cabin air filter under the hood or under the glove compartment?


^^ Notice how the cowell area isn't as thick as some of the older BMWs? I'm thinking cabin air filter is under the glove compartment on the passenger side and this is the wrong filter for my car. Thoughts? Confirmation?

Thanks,
Ryan
