Your BMW’s engine relies on a steady supply of clean air to function efficiently and effectively. That’s why the air filter is one of the most important components in your car’s engine bay. Over time, the air filter can become clogged with dirt and debris, reducing the amount of air that can flow into the engine. This can cause a decrease in performance and fuel efficiency, as well as potential damage to the engine itself. Let’s take a deep dive into problems your BMW can have if you don’t replace the air filter in a timely manner.
A dirty air filter can restrict the amount of air that flows into your BMW’s engine. This can cause the engine to work harder than it needs to, and burn more fuel than necessary to produce the same amount of power. This decrease in fuel efficiency can lead to increased fuel costs over time, which can add up significantly.
The amount of air that enters your BMW’s engine affects its ability to produce power. When the air filter is dirty, it restricts the amount of air that can flow into the engine, which can cause a decrease in acceleration, reduced top speed, and overall poor performance. You may also notice that your car feels sluggish or unresponsive when you press the accelerator.
If your BMW’s engine isn’t receiving enough air, it may not be able to burn fuel efficiently. This can cause the fuel to burn incompletely, leading to increased emissions of harmful pollutants. In fact, a dirty air filter is one of the most common causes of failed emissions tests.
A dirty air filter can allow dirt and debris to enter your BMW’s engine, which can cause damage to internal components. This can lead to costly repairs and even engine failure in extreme cases. Additionally, a clogged air filter can cause the engine to overheat, which can lead to further damage to the engine’s components.
The frequency with which you need to replace your BMW’s air filter will depend on several factors, including the type of driving you do and the conditions you encounter. As a general rule of thumb, it’s a good idea to inspect your air filter every 7,000 to 10,000 miles and/or replace it as needed. If you often drive in dusty or dirty conditions, you may have to replace the filter more often. Also, if you notice reduced performance or fuel efficiency, it’s a good idea to check your air filter and replace it if necessary.
Depending on your BMW’s model, our mechanic will locate the air filter housing since this may be different on various models. We will remove the clips or screws that hold the housing in place and carefully remove the old air filter from the housing.
Using a clean rag, we will wipe down the inside of the air filter housing, ensuring we remove any debris or dirt that may have accumulated. Next, we carefully insert the new air filter into the housing, making sure it’s seated properly. We then secure the clips or screws to make sure the filter is safely enclosed in the air filter housing.
