How to fix Musty/mouldy smell in the cabin in BMW X2 (F39)?

An effective solution involves manually removing the cabin filter, and in many cases also dismantling the blower motor itself, to insert a tube and directly pour professional chemical foam (e.g. Kool-It, Nextzett Klima-Clean) into the evaporator core. High operational repeatability. Ozonation is ineffective - the chemicals must wash the evaporator directly.
