Do you have a switch to turn the Activated carbon filter on/off? This switch is only present if you have the Thermotronic (intelligent air-conditioning) System.
Access to the filter is from the passenger side under the glovebox. I understand that they are a bit of a hassle to get out...

You mean the Air Filters? Are they charcoal - I thought that they were simply paper...
They live under the plastic engine cover. Pop that off, (lift vertically) and there is a filter on each side, held in place with torx screws.
Simple job to change.

No, he meant the charcoal filter in the air filter housing like on all 63 engines. 63 owners are removing these filter and gains about 10 rwhp.
