Microfilter, activated-charcoal
filter
The microfilter removes dust and pollen
from the incoming air. The activated-
charcoal filter provides additional pro-
tection by filtering gaseous pollutants
from the outside air. Your BMW center
replaces this combined filter as a stan-
dard part of your scheduled mainte-
nance. A substantial reduction in airflow
indicates that the filter must be
replaced before scheduled mainte-
nance.
