I am thinking of changing it myself, why is this not changed with the oil and oil filter?

Do you need to ask for it as extra and pay for it? Knowing MINi they will probably want an hour’s labour! So that would be £8 for the part, and £100 for the labour.

Hi
The air filter is changed on the inspection 2 service which would be arould the 50.000 mile mark, if you want to replace the filter early the fitted price is £14.95 inc parts labour and vat
