How to service the air filter on BMW Z4?

2003 and later models with an M56 engine bring an all-new component to the mix, a fixed, non-serviceable carbon filter element bolted to the air filter housing. The air cleaner assembly is fixed at the left-hand side of the engine compartment immediately in front of the vehicle. First, let loose the three retaining clips - on the housing, and on the air filter housing cover regarding the MAF sensor. However, before doing so, one has to raise and unlock the air inlet duct and completely pull it off the housing by releasing some retaining clips mounted on it. Pull out the air filter and then wipe the insides of the where the air filter was inserted clean. Last, position the new filter, put back the casing and tighten all other retaining clips.

BMW Z4 Air Filter

The BMW Z4 Air Filter sits on the front line of defense against dirt and debris. It prevents these from damaging delicate engine components and robbing the engine of power. The engine consumes approximately 10,000 gallons of air for every gallon of fuel, relying on a consistent, smooth flow of air into the combustion chambers. To ensure this flow, the Air Filter traps particles as small as five microns. In every generation of BMW Z4, the primary design has been a flat panel style Air Filter fitted in a closed air box on fuel injected engines. After unclipping the cover, it is easily replaceable and should be fitted tight, so all intake air passes through the media. The previous carbureted BMW models applied round elements elsewhere, which shows how the shape changes with the intake layout, whereas the Z4 sticks to the rectangular panel for packing efficiency and smooth breathing. BMW has two types of Air Filter that occur across its line range. The first is a dry pleated paper Air Filter element that is valued for efficiency and low cost. On other BMW models, you may see a reusable oiled cotton filter that is designed for more performance-oriented applications. This allows for greater airflow, but at the expense of requiring cleaning rather than an easy swap. This is what keeps each Z4 eager on the road. Timely Air Filter changes also keep your fuel economy in check.
