Where is the BMW X3 air conditioner located?

BMW X3 air filter is located in the engine compartment. The air filter box is positioned above the engine. Unscrew the 7 fixing screws, then lift the box to remove the air filter element. Below is an introduction to the air filter: 1. The air filter, commonly known as the cabin air filter, functions to filter the air entering the cabin from the outside, improving air cleanliness. The general filtering substances include impurities in the air, such as tiny particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust. 2. Air filters are generally divided into three categories: standard air filters, single-layer activated carbon series air filters, and multi-layer activated carbon series air filters. (1) Standard air filters are usually made from a specific environmentally friendly filtering material processed and folded, mostly white and single-layer. (2) Single-layer activated carbon series air filters are made from two layers of non-woven fabric composite with tiny granular activated carbon in between, forming an activated carbon filter cloth, which is then further processed into an air filter. (3) Multi-layer activated carbon series air filters consist of four layers: a primary filter layer (standard filter paper), an antibacterial and benzene-removing layer (special chemical impregnation technology), a deodorizing layer (activated carbon layer), and a dust-removing layer (electrostatic non-woven fabric).

I've driven a BMW X3 for many years, and the air conditioning controls are right in the center of the dashboard, very noticeable. Those buttons and knobs are marked with temperature icons and fan symbols. The blue-red knob adjusts the temperature, the large fan button turns the fan on/off, and pressing AC activates or deactivates the cooling. The rear seats also have air vents, usually located near the doors or behind the center armrest. It's recommended to operate the controls while parked after starting the car, avoiding distractions while driving. Newer models might use the iDrive touchscreen—just navigate to the climate option in the main menu. Regularly cleaning or replacing the AC filter is crucial; I change mine every six months, a simple DIY task that prevents moldy odors, bacterial growth, and allergy issues. BMW's design is intuitive, making it easy for beginners, just be careful not to confuse the recirculation button to maintain good air quality inside.
