Just info, but GM makes a fungicide that sprays into grills at base of windshield, that stuff is strong.

But before you use Lysol? Have you gone on a long and fast drive with your heat turned to maximum high temp and your blower on high through all the vents - to burn out the bacteria ?

On the 2 series it looks like you need to unscrew the black trim panel under the wipers to expose the intake grills for the HVAC. Actually TVTara I think has a YouTube video of her removing the associated panel on her 335.

Haha, yeah musty oops. And thanks for the help. I might call the service department to ask on Monday. The video is helpful but it doesn't look exactly the same in our cars. I'll try the heater thing also.
