Fits like a glove. In the MINI the cabin filter isn't a "drop in" like in most cars I've owned - you have to flex and guide it into a "slot" of sorts in the passenger footwell. I was worried I'd break/fold the filter but it's flexible enough (it's made of a rigid cloth-like material).

I had the original filter for about 3 years, and figured it needs a change. My dealer was gotta charged me $130 (labor + part) for the installation of the new cabin filter on my 2011 Clubman (R55). But I figured it's a easy change and it shouldn't cost that much. So I went to the Internet and found myself the lecture video on youtube. It was very helpful indeed. The whole installation took only 5 minutes with a flat screwdriver. On the side of the filter, you will see the manufacturer place: 'Germany' was imprinted. The filter was constructed with excellent material.
