5 BENEFITS TO CHANGING YOUR CABIN AIR FILTER IN SUMMER

Your BMW’s air filter keeps the air inside the cabin clean and breathable; but it’s important to remember that it gets dirty after prolonged use and has to be replaced periodically.

Summers can be especially tough on cabin air filters as they have to work overtime to keep passengers protected from the hot, humid, and dirty air outside.

Here are five reasons you should replace your BMW’s air filter:

Frequent City Driving

Driving in heavy traffic in urban areas can wreak havoc on the air filter as it has to work overtime to keep you safe from poor air quality, dust, smog, and road debris. City driving can reduce the effectiveness of your air filter at a faster rate.

Road Debris

Even if you don’t drive often in the city, even driving around casually can eventually clog up your air filters. Larger debris such as insects, leaves, and even twigs can get caught in it.

Smog

Pollutants and other contaminants can enter the ventilation system and make the air inside the cabin unbreathable. The filter acts as a screen between passengers and the smog outside and should be replaced regularly to ensure proper function.

Micro-organisms

Micro-organisms and mold in the air can accumulate inside the cabin and multiply quickly. Consider changing the air filter if your cabin begins to smell musty.

Cools the Cabin Better

A clean air filter obviously does a much better, and of course, faster job at cooling your BMW; a necessity in the hot summer months.
Keeping the cabin cool, cleaning the air of smog, and preventing the growth of micro-organisms are just a few reasons why it’s important to get your air filter replaced at least once during the summer months.
