The air filter would be done at a dealership or mechanic while the car was up on a lift to do the oil change, which would normally be done at the same time if you're on a 5K mile interval for the oil. Even in my driveway I did that, except I used ramps. Do the filter while the oil drains. 30 minutes tops for oil and filters, not counting on and off the ramp time, etc.
The passenger compartment filter is a bit awkward. My first time took maybe 45 mins, but I was working carefully. Next time would be 20 to 30 mins. It's not hard, just awkward, despite what some here have claimed. Definitely could have been engineered better, though. I'd rather it be under the hood like on the C900 and the 9000.
No car's perfect on the engineering front.
