BMW Cabin Filters
When you’re cruising the streets of Meridian, Philadelphia, and Laurel, Mississippi, in your luxury BMW, you want to be breathing clean, fresh air. While you may think rolling up the window will do enough, you’ll need more to tackle dust, debris, and pollution.
As an important aspect of your vehicle, the cabin air filter often gets overlooked. This component is responsible for your fresh air, so when it's time to change it, it’s best you do it as soon as possible.
To help make the process easy, the service team at BMW of Meridian proudly offers BMW cabin filters as well as their installation so you can breathe without worry while on the go.
What Does a Cabin Air Filter Do?
Your BMW has many working parts aimed to keep you safe and comfortable on the roads. One of them is an advanced climate control system that allows you to change the heating or air conditioning settings in the cabin.
A part of this system is a BMW air cabin filter. This feature is small and typically made of pleated cloth and sits behind your glovebox. Before air can enter your cabin, whether from outside or your climate control system, it must pass through this filter.
The air filter in your BMW is like an air filter on your home air conditioning unit or the water filter in your fridge. It cleans and purifies, making the air you breathe in the cabin safe and comfortable.
Over time, like any filter, it will get too full of dust and debris, making it harder to do its job well.
When to Replace Your BMW Cabin Filter
Professionals suggest changing your BMW cabin air filter every 15,000 to 20,000 miles to ensure the air you breathe in is as clean as possible. However, depending on the condition of your vehicle and where you drive, you may need to change it more frequently.
For example, if you drive in a congested city or a high-dust area often, you may need to make the change sooner.
To make the process easy on you, our service team handles all maintenance needs for your BMW model. They’ll be happy to find the appropriate genuine BMW cabin air filter, take out the old one, and install the new one quickly!
