2 Answers
The air conditioning filter of the 2019 BMW X1 is located in the side panel on the passenger side. The functions of the car air conditioning filter are introduced as follows: Provide fresh air: It can prevent the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for the driver and safe driving. It supplies fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. It also effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. Ensure safety and hygiene: It maintains clean air in the cabin, preventing bacterial growth and creating a healthy environment. It effectively filters out solid impurities such as dust, powder, and grinding particles from the air. It also intercepts pollen, ensuring that passengers do not experience allergic reactions that could affect driving safety. Adsorb harmful substances: It adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, and other substances from the air. It has strong and durable moisture adsorption capabilities.
My car is a 2019 BMW X1, and I've personally replaced the cabin air filter several times. It's located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and the process is quite straightforward. Open the glove box door, and you'll see plastic clips or dampening rods on both sides—carefully remove them, then gently pull out the entire glove box to create space. Inside, near the windshield, there's a small cover. Lift it to reveal the filter slot. The filter is a rectangular, folded design—simply pull out the old one and slot in the new one. I recommend buying the OEM-compatible filter model; avoid cheap ones to prevent odors. I typically replace it every 20,000 km or once a year, as a clogged filter affects AC cooling efficiency, especially noticeable when there's more dust inside. DIY takes about 20 minutes and saves hundreds in service fees. Just follow online tutorial videos—easy! Be careful not to damage plastic parts to avoid hassle later.
