How big is the lexus in comparison to the 2 series? The 2 series is on the small side and you have a 3.0L turbo in there. They could have put the cabin air filter in there but it would probably make working on the engine even more difficult. The DIY for this looks like it take 10 minutes tops. Much easier than my moms E60 and my previous audi fwiw. I've worked on turbocharged engines that are really crammed in there (B5 S4, 944 Turbo) and it is such a pain to work on, im happy that they did it this way.
