This X5/X6 cabin air filter is the first to market with an advanced activated carbon material as part of a 4-layer filter innovation to adsorb a particularly high amount of NOx. The filter permanently and sustainably reduces NOx in the environment and directly in the vehicle cabin. This is the best, most feature-packed microfilter on the market.
4-layers to provide maximum protection:
1. The biofunctional layer is antibacterial and prevents mold growth. 2. The activated carbon layer filters out harmful gases such as ozone (O3), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). 3. The carrier fleece forms the basis for the activated carbon layer and the biofunctional layer. 4. The particle filter layer filters dust, pollen, soot and dirt from the air.
A fresh E70, F15, F85, E71, F16, F86 cabin air filter (also known as a microfilter or HEPA filter) will allow you to breathe easier, and healthier, by effectively filtering out impurities through your HVAC system. A yearly replacement of your microfilter will ensure dust, pollen, soot, and pollution stay out of your BMW's interior.
This set includes both filter panels for E70 X5/X5M, E71 X6/X6M, F15 X5, F16 X6, F85 X5M, and F86 X6M. The X5/X6 was offered with or without automatic climate control and the microfilter is different for each. This set of filters is for the fresh air system located in the cowl under the hood. Cars with the automatic climate control also feature a separate set of filters for the recirculated air system. Please make note of which system is your car so that we can provide the correct filter(s).
Regular or Activated Carbon filter? Regular filters are made of paper or textiles that are then electrically charged. The charged filter creates a static surface for foreign particles to cling to. Carbon filters - also known as charcoal filters - also use a textile material but with extra layers of chemically-treated carbon material (literally charcoal or charred wood). The carbon does a better job of trapping and containing foreign particles which makes it a better choice for heavily polluted areas and especially in stop/go traffic. It also does a better job of filtering odors than a standard paper filter. Because of the more complex manufacturing process, activated charcoal filters tend to be more expensive. We offer both paper and activated carbon filters for your BMW whenever available.
