Where is the air filter of BMW X6 located?
2 Answers
There are two air filters in the BMW X6, one is located inside the storage compartment in front of the passenger seat, and the other is under the passenger seat. The air filter used in the car plays a very important role in human health. It can absorb some harmful substances in the outside air, protecting human health while also safeguarding the car's air conditioning system. The BMW X6 is defined as a SAC, which stands for Sports Activity Coupe. In terms of body dimensions, the BMW X6 measures 4880mm in length, 1983mm in width, and 1709mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2933mm. Exterior-wise, the BMW X6 features the brand's signature "kidney grille" front face, along with "angel eye" headlights and high-intensity xenon lamps. Inside, the BMW X6 comes with a three-spoke multifunctional steering wheel equipped with paddle shifters, a silver knob on the right side which is part of BMW's "iDrive" system, and a gearshift lever resembling a fighter jet control stick.
I remember when I was driving a BMW X6, I encountered a strange smell from the air conditioning, so I decided to replace the filter myself. The location is actually quite hidden, mainly behind the footwell area on the passenger side. You'll need to first remove the glove compartment—not the entire thing, just unscrew a few small screws and move the panel aside, and you'll see the filter housing. Just take out the old one and replace it with a new one—it's very simple. I recommend changing it once a year, otherwise, dust buildup can affect air freshness, especially in dusty places like Beijing. Be careful not to pull any wires when replacing it; just use basic tools and have your toolkit ready. Once you remember the location, you can easily handle it yourself next time.
