OEM BMW Air Filters

Your BMW vehicle more than likely has two kinds of air filters. One's for the engine, while the other is for your cabin space. Both are responsible for capturing contaminants before they can congregate in the engine parts and your HVAC system.

What Air Filters Do

The engine air filter is located near the air intake. It collects airborne contaminants and debris, preventing them from getting to the engine where they can collect and cause trouble.

The cabin air filter is most often found behind the glove compartment, though it’s sometimes located underneath the front cowling on the passenger side of your BMW. It keeps allergens and irritants from making their way into your passenger space and the air that you breathe.

Sadly, even the best air filters can eventually go bad. Whether they get blocked up or degrade with age, you'll want to replace them ASAP to ensure fresh, clean air continues flowing through.

How to Detect Air Filter Problems

Signs of failing air filters include:

• Engine misfires
• Reduced acceleration
• Delayed throttle response
• Weakened engine power
• Worsening fuel economy
• Strange engine noises
• Musty smelling cabin
• Whistling noise coming from your air vents
• Inconsistent cabin temperature
• Dirty or worn-out air filters
