Draught-free ventilation
The air outlets for the upper body area
can be adjusted to suit the user's pref-
erences:
1 Knurled wheels for opening and clos-
ing the outlets through an infinitely
variable range
2 Levers for adjusting the direction of
the air flow
3 Use knurled wheel 3 to blend the
required amount of cool air into the
airflow to the upper body area
Micro-filter
The micro-filter in the ventilation system
traps dust and pollen in the air entering
the car. It is renewed when
BMW Service carries out routine main-
tenance work. If the airflow is noticea-
bly less than usual, this may indicate
that the filter should be renewed earlier.
