Air Filter Replacement on a BMW

When it comes to replacing the air filter on your BMW, it depends on a number of factors. It comes down to things such as driving conditions, environment, and the types of filter used. For a BMW, it is generally recommended to change the air filter every 15,000 miles. 

Regularly checking and replacing the air filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations. A dirty air filter can affect the run ability of the vehicle. Here are some signs that indicate a BMW has a dirty or faulty air filter. 

Decreased Engine Performance- A clogged air filter reduces the clean air that flows into the engine.

Reduced Fuel Efficiency- When there is a significant amount of dirt and debris, it causes the engine to work harder which can cause lower fuel efficiency.

Black Smoke from Exhaust- A clogged air filter in a BMW disrupts the air-fuel mixture balance which can cause the engine to receive an excessively rich mixture. 

An air filter can be an easy preventative maintenance to help keep your vehicle running the way it should.
