Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Verification: Before purchasing, it is essential to use the vehicle's make, model, and year tool to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle. If unsure, contact customer support with your vehicle details for assistance. This filter is a direct replacement for BMW OEM part numbers 13717526008 and 7526008.
Installation: Installation typically involves locating the air filter housing, opening it (often secured by clips or screws), removing the old filter, and inserting the new Mahle LX 1216 air filter, ensuring it seats correctly. Close the housing securely. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions.
Care: Air filters are designed for single use and are not washable. They require replacement at recommended service intervals, typically outlined in your vehicle's maintenance schedule, or when visually inspected and found to be dirty or damaged.
