Apologies if this is a dumb question.

My BMW E92 has a moldy/mildewy smell coming out of the vents. It's worst when the HVAC first comes on but not very noticeable while it's running. I assume there is actual mold or mildew on the evaporator, unfortunately cleaning or replacing that is a $2500 job. I have seen plenty of guides about spraying cleaner in the AC intakes but I assume that is just going to make the smell go away for a bit since it isn't treating the source of the problem. I also saw this, which I guess I would need an HVAC technician to do, but is it legit? The thing already needs like 3k in paint work and if the HVAC is gonna be permanently moldy I'm just gonna sell the loving thing.
