Smell in A/C

When I start my 2013 X3 the A/C smells. To me, it smells like a band-aid. After maybe 30 seconds it goes away. I do not smell it afterwards.

Once I started to smell it I replaced the air filters. The smell continued.

I brought the car to the dealer and they cleaned something - and my car now smells like mint gum. But the stink is still there when I start up after the car has been sitting for a while. They claim to have cleaned the condenser and checked the refrigerant.

The A/C works fine otherwise.

I see this is sort of common from a variety of searches.

I see people talking about sprays and foams.

Any specific X3 experiences? recommendations?

I have an appointment with a local German car repair specialist next week.

Thanks.
