A/C Mold Smell - Air Intake?

Any one know or have photos of where the AC/Heat pulls in air on the 428i? I cant seem to find the inlet or the built in filter?

+1 on this ^ !, I too am trying to locate the fresh air intake so i can spray some evaporator coil cleaner to get rid of that initial "moldy smell" from the HVAC on start up.


*Edit- I did happen to find a YouTube video on how to replace the micro-filter in the dash. I will check that first for debris and then inject some fresh air evaporator coil cleaner into the system through the filter opening. Ill see if that helps...?

I'm still curious tho on where the fresh air intake is located...
