K&N's Universal Air Filters are a top - choice for a wide range of applications, including racing cars, radio - controlled vehicles, generators, snowmobiles, and tractors. No matter the air intake's angle or offset diameter, there's likely a perfect K&N filter for your equipment. These filters feature ultra - strong molded pliable rubber flanges. The flanges absorb vibrations, provide a secure attachment, and can stretch up to 1/16 of an inch (1.5mm) to fit between sizes. What's more, they're washable and reusable, offering long - term cost savings. This specific part fits various models of BMW and Mini from 2015 - 2019, such as BMW X1 sDrive28i (2015, 2017), X1 xDrive28i (2015 - 2017), Mini Cooper Base (2017 - 2019), and many others.
Using your K&N Universal Air Filter is easy. First, make sure your vehicle's engine is turned off. Then, locate the existing air filter and remove it carefully. Next, place the K&N filter in its position, ensuring the rubber flange fits snugly. If it's a bit tight, you can gently stretch the flange up to 1/16 of an inch (1.5mm) to get a proper fit. When it comes to maintenance, it's recommended to check the filter regularly, especially if you drive in dusty or dirty conditions. When it gets dirty, you can wash it using a K&N filter cleaning kit. After washing, let it dry completely before reinstalling. Remember, always follow the cleaning instructions provided with the kit. Also, ensure the filter is correctly installed to avoid any air leaks, which could affect your vehicle's performance.
