Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will this filter fit my 1 Series (F20 or F40) hatchback? Please Note: Generally, IT DOES NOT FIT. 1 Series F20 vehicles use a completely different filter. The new F40 models use the smaller filter coded "F 026 400 360". This product (F 026 400 789) is primarily for 2 Series Active Tourer, X1, and MINI models. Please check the dimensions of your existing filter before ordering.
Which vehicles is it fully compatible with? It is compatible with the petrol and hybrid engines of BMW 2 Series Active Tourer (F45), Gran Tourer (F46), BMW X1 (F48), BMW X2 (F39), and MINI Cooper (F54, F55, F56, F60) models.
Is it suitable for Hybrid vehicles? Yes. This is the original filter for Plug-in Hybrid models like the BMW 225xe Active Tourer and MINI Cooper SE Countryman ALL4.
How often should I replace it? Bosch recommends replacing the air filter at every maintenance interval (10,000 - 15,000 km) to maintain engine performance and keep fuel consumption at an ideal level.
