BMW X1 Air Filters

Every day, air carries dirt, debris, dust, pollen, and other pollutants through your BMW X1. They make their ways through your throttle body and into your air intake, passing across many other engine parts, from your fuel injectors (or your carburetor, if you've got one) to your spark plugs. They also travel throughout the many ducts and vents in your HVAC system. Luckily, your BMW X1 has two types of factory air filters to capture them: an engine air filter and a cabin air filter. Eventually, though, all that crud deposits somewhere, and this can cause problems during a drive. A filthy engine air filter can force your engine to needlessly enrich its air-to-fuel ratio. This leads to a misfiring engine, heightened emissions, suffering fuel economy, and lower overall engine performance. A gunky cabin air filter can stifle airflow, hampering heater and air conditioner operation. This leads to trouble maintaining interior temperature, bad air quality, and an unnecessarily stressed motor. The best way to keep this from happening is to replace the old with new, genuine BMW air filters. It's easy to tell when to change them. Your Check Engine light may illuminate, but that could mean anything. It's better to check for fiber brittleness and surface discoloration along with clogs. For engine filters specifically, listen for abnormal engine noise and look for excessively smoky exhaust. For cabin filters specifically, sniff for an unpleasant or dirty odor. If still you're not sure when to replace air filters, review your owner’s manual for a maintenance schedule.
