In Naperville, IL, our Bill Jacobs BMW dealership cares about delivering the best service to customers in the area. A cabin air filter replacement is one of the most overlooked services when it comes to keeping up with your BMW. The cabin air filter is underneath the dashboard inside the vehicle and keeps everyone healthy inside the cab. We offer this and all other routine services at Bill Jacobs BMW.
All of the vehicles made today are sealed airtight. Most of the sounds you hear outside are the tires rolling on the road, but much of the noise is drowned out due to this airtight seal inside the cab. Since vehicles have all of the air inside trapped in with the driver and passengers, allergens and other pollutants are in the vehicle’s air quality. The cabin air filter is either a microfilter or charcoal filter, which traps the contaminants and odors, allowing the air inside the cab to remain clean.
In your BMW, you should have the cabin air filter changed annually. If you go by the miles, it is good to change it every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. It also depends on the environment. If you drive down gravel roads or in heavy construction places, it would be better to change it twice a year. The environment has a lot to do with the air quality inside the vehicle. An example of low air quality would be driving around refineries and landfills where the odor can overpower the interior.
If you are someone you know inside the vehicle has allergies, it will make the ride uncomfortable. Many people are allergic to dust, and it can make some people very ill. If you suffer from allergies, you will notice your eyes watery or puffy, along with sneezing, runny nose, or coughing. Another thing that will become obvious is the odors will not escape the interior as quickly. When these signs show themselves, it is a good indication the cabin air filter is due for a replacement. If you do not replace the filter, the conditions will worsen.
