About Air Filter Box
The X3 BMW air filter box houses the X3 BMW air filter, a crucial part of the car's air intake system. The X3 BMW air filter improves the performance of the engine, enabling it to work as efficiently as possible whilst increasing the life of the engine.
Air needs to be as clean as possible before it mixes with the fuel and burns in the cylinders of the car's engine. The X3 BMW air filter protects the engine, by filtering the air coming into the engine, collecting dust and other particles before they can get into the engine and cause damage. The air filter also helps to silence the engine to a degree, in that the sound is absorbed by the filter.
The X3 BMW air filter box is connected to the car's air intake, allowing the X3 BMW air filter to catch particles and filter the air at the point the air enters the air induction system. The X3 BMW air filter box assists also in the direction of air flow.
If the X3 BMW air filter box gets damaged, it's possible that some air will be entering the car's engine without being filtered which is not good. A broken air filter box could compromise the air filter it is meant to be protecting. Any damage to the X3 BMW air filter can cause serious problems that can lead to engine damage if not addressed.
BMW trivia
- The very first BMW was named the 'Dixi'. They hadn't designed it (it was really an English Austin), and they dropped the name 'Dixi' very quickly, instead opting for the rather more grandiose BMW 3/15 DA-2. Rolls off the tongue!
- Pop Art legend Andy Warhol was asked to hand paint a BMW, and he did the whole thing on a full-sized model in 24 minutes. He said afterwards, "I adore the car, it's much better than a work of art."
- Everyone knows what the BMW logo looks like, but do you know what it represents? Most people think it's inspired by propellers (because of BMW's aviation history), but it's really just the same colour scheme as the Bavarian flag and was designed to showcase Bavaria.
- The Cold War affected BMW sales so significantly that the company was nearly bought out by their arch-rivals Mercedes in 1959. A silent investor saved the company, but the rivalry between BMW and Mercedes Benz is ongoing.
- It might not be the accessory that everyone needs, but for BMW drivers in South Africa who were worried about carjackers, the 'Blaster' was a flamethrower that shot huge flames from either side of the car. Not currently available in the UK…
