OE 13712246997 — Air Filter for Bmw

Start from the code cast or printed on the part you are removing — that is the authoritative source. If it is illegible, use the Applications table on the closest engine & fuel system reference and narrow by build year. Send photos and we will cross-check the number for you.

Treat it as a wear item: inspect every 20,000-30,000 km and replace at the first sign of leakage, noise or performance loss. Real service life swings widely with climate, road surface and duty cycle, so mileage on its own is a weak indicator.

Every shipment of 13712246997 leaves with a packing list, photo documentation and a QC report. Warranty terms are agreed per contract and reference that inspection record; claims are settled in writing against the documentation.

Wholesale pricing for 13712246997 depends on order quantity, surface treatment and packing. Standard references are quoted ex-Guangzhou with tiered pricing from 10 pieces upward — send quantity and destination port and a quotation usually returns within one business day.

A supersession happens when the maker revises a air filter and issues a new tail number. The revision normally changes a small physical detail rather than the fit. Where we know a supersession chain for 13712246997 we list the current reference; ask our desk for written confirmation before a large order.

Position depends on the platform. On most Bmw applications the air filter sits on the engine & fuel system assembly and can be reached from the engine bay or the underbody without removing the dashboard. Torque figures and disassembly order are given in the workshop manual for each model.
