The Crucial Function of the Engine Air Filter

Having a reliable fuel system is only part of the reason your BMW’s engine is running smoothly. It also requires an adequate and clean supply of air, which is possible through a dependable air intake system. The air filter under the hood of your vehicle screens out dust, debris, and other impurities from entering the engine. When the air filter is clogged, the engine tends to run ‘rich’. This is when the engine compensates for a lack of air supply by burning through more fuel.

Signs to Replace the Air Filter

When the engine runs rich due to an obstructed air filter, the following symptoms often occur:

Sputtering, popping, or coughing sounds from the engine

Black smoke from the tailpipe

Unburned fuel smell from the exhaust

Check engine light flashes

Lower fuel economy than usual

Your vehicle is also likely to stumble as you accelerate and stall when you decelerate. Check the filter’s actual condition by locating the housing, which is often a black plastic case. Open the housing then remove and inspect the filter. It can be cylindrical, boxy, or cone in shape depending on your model.

Why OEM Air Filters Are Superior

Using an OEM air filter for your BMW’s engine means you’re fulfilling the exact requirements for the engine. Original BMW air filters are also designed, produced, and tested for maximum reliability.
