As SUV's have grown tremendously in popularity, BMW has responded to consumer demand with the BMW X Series. The success of this vehicle can be attributed to the fact that BMW has been manufacturing high performance sports cars for eighty years. The application of this experience to off-road design has made the BMW X Series a vehicle offering the best of both worlds.
Handling as well on the road as off it, the BMW X Series redefines sport utility vehicles. The BMW X Series air filter is an important part of the fuel system, since the fuel needs to be mixed with oxygen in order to burn in the cylinders that power the vehicle.
Without an air filter, the entire engine would soon become clogged with dust and other particles. A dirty air filter may protect the BMW X Series engine from dust, but it will ultimately restrict the engine's air supply. This can result in a fuel-air mixture that is too "rich" - in other words, too much fuel and too little air. This, turn will raise the idle speed and increase fuel consumption. Eventually, this can cause excess carbon deposits, interfering with valve operation and leading to other problems. The BMW X Series air filter should be replaced whenever the oil is changed - least every three months. This should be done more often if you do a lot of off-road driving.
