Off-Road Dust and Cabin Filter
X3 owners who drive on unpaved roads are exposing the cabin filter to elevated dust concentrations. Dust from unpaved roads can clog a cabin filter 3× faster than city driving. If you regularly use the X3 on dusty roads, change the cabin filter every 10,000 km and inspect the blower motor housing for dust ingress.
