BMW Air freshener

I have the raindrop currently. My question is to those who have this is:

1. What is your favorite scent?
2. Which one resembles the most to a "leather" scent. (wood?)
3. Where do you purchase yours from? (I bought mine off of Amazon but their selection is min.)

TIA.

I like green tea for spring/summer time as it has fresh scent… amber for fall winter, because it has the spice to it… closest to woody. I'd say between energizing wood or the amber.

Raindrops and Cinnamon are my preferred scents.

Ironically, the dealer is cheaper than Amazon for these. At least by me in Philly.

Has anyone had luck getting the dealer to throw in the starter kit as a perk or incentive of some sort?

Are these standard on the 5-series? I'm not familiar with all the options and I don't see it as an add-on option. I'm OK without it, just wondering.

You're thinking of ambient air (the freshener bottle in the glove box that goes into the ventilation system, which is not a standard option.

These here are bmw natural air, you put it in front of AC vent.. $30 for starter kit, and you can but different kind of refills

Do you know if the option is retrofittable?

Yes there's a DIY thread about it somewhere in this forum, it involves a lot of work. alot of people said the smell is faint, so think if its worth the trouble
