Cabin Filter on i3 BEV models

Is there a cabin filter on BEV models? When I lookup this part number it seems they are only available for the REX. Does anyone know?

Pelican Parts shows the same filter for both BEV and REX 2014-15 i3's:

If in doubt, you can always open up the box and take a look:

So I just called and confirmed they are there on the BEV. Picking them up tomorrow from my local dealer. I'll let you know if they are easy to replace or not.

All you need is a T20 and you're set. Getting the filters out of the box is the trickiest part if you've never done it before.

It's easy to replace, just in a tricky area. I bought a different brand filter that isn't as rigid as the OEM BMW ones so when putting them back in, I couldn't tell if the filter was flexing or folding as I installed them. Hopefully they're in there right.
