what is, how often and where is micro filter located on M cars?

I had my oil serviced before my warranty expired on my car. They said they didn't reset the computer because they didn't replace the micro filter. So where is it...how often does it get replaced? I have the part number for anyone interested.

Z4M micro filter 64319195194

I searched on tischer and it seems to be a cabin filter...so there's no micro filter that is engine related other than the oil filter?

Under the glove box and its a Bitch to change... I believe the interval is every Oil Service/Inspection.

that's what I'm trying to figure out...is micro filter replaced every oil service or every inspection? I had a low mileage oil change as I don't drive much and it goes to 1 year so I have the oil changed annually.

that's plenty often.
I still haven't done mine after 1.5yrs

Yea, it's just the cabin air filter, same part, and probably the same location for all e85/e86 cars.
