BMW first aid kits do not contain masks. Here is some information about vehicle first aid kits: 1. A first aid kit is a small package containing emergency medicines, sterilized gauze, bandages, etc., used for emergency rescue in case of accidents. First aid kits can be categorized into household first aid kits, outdoor first aid kits, vehicle first aid kits, gift first aid kits, earthquake first aid kits, etc. 2. Vehicle first aid kits mainly contain dressing supplies like elastic head covers, buckle-type tourniquets, elastic bandages, etc.; sterile dressings like gauze, bandages, disposable gloves, etc.; and tools like first aid scissors, medical tweezers, safety pins, survival whistles, etc.

I've been driving a BMW 5 Series for several years. Last time when I was bored, I checked the first aid kit in the trunk. The contents were pretty basic: bandages, antiseptic cotton, scissors, and a first aid manual, but I really couldn't find any masks. After chatting with fellow car owners, most of their kits also lacked this item. The first aid kit is originally designed to handle minor traffic accident injuries, such as cuts or falls, and doesn't include epidemic prevention items. After the pandemic, I think it's important to have masks in the car, so I bought a box of individually wrapped disposable masks online and put them in. When going out with family or on long drives, encountering dusty areas or needing temporary protection, they come in handy. I suggest you check your BMW's first aid kit yourself. There might be slight differences between models, but don't be disappointed if there aren't any—adding them yourself is simple and provides extra security.

As an automotive technician, I've handled numerous BMW first aid kit inspections. Standard configurations typically include bandages, adhesive bandages, safety pins, and disinfectant, but masks are not included. The primary purpose of a first aid kit is to quickly address external injuries, not to combat air pollution or infectious diseases. From a professional standpoint, masks are practical in vehicular scenarios, such as protecting against smoke and dust at accident sites or during flu season. I often advise customers to assemble their own small emergency kit with masks, ensuring they are kept sealed to prevent moisture. The official BMW checklist specifies the contents—you might want to check the user manual to confirm. If anything is missing, it's wise to purchase replacements promptly. This ensures greater peace of mind while driving, especially on long trips where extra precautions are essential.

I've checked my BMW first aid kit several times, and it only contains basic first aid supplies like gauze, adhesive tape, and scissors – no masks included. Since I often take my child out, I always keep extra children's and adult masks under the car seat. Whether it's for daily school runs or short trips, we put them on when encountering hazy weather. While the first aid kit is sufficient for minor injuries, masks represent a new necessity that manufacturers should update. I recommend checking your car kit – if there aren't any masks, just buy some from the supermarket to add in. It's simple, convenient, and ensures safety.
