Detailed Description

WIX WA10983 is an engine air filter engineered as a premium panel replacement for BMW vehicles that use a left-side air filter location. The enhanced cellulose media is treated with phenolic resin to improve durability in moisture-prone conditions, while the polyurethane seal is built to maintain its shape through hot and cold temperature swings where applicable. This part cross-references BMW 13718613250 for the same application.

Use the WIX WA10983 when servicing BMW X5, BMW X6, BMW X7, 750i, 750Li, M550i xDrive, M760i xDrive, M760Li xDrive, or Alpina XB7 models that call for the left-side filter position. The part number WA10983 is also referenced by NAPA Gold Filters 200983 and Purolator A21501.

What This Filter Helps Address

• Restricted airflow caused by a dirty or loaded engine air filter
• Dust and debris entering the intake system during road use
• Reduced filtration performance in stop-and-go or short-trip driving
• Moisture exposure that can affect standard filter media
• Service replacement needs for BMW left-side air filter intervals

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s left-side air filter location before ordering. Match the filter dimensions and OE reference number to the existing unit during service. For BMW X5, X6, X7, 750i, 750Li, and related applications, inspect the airbox sealing surfaces and replace the filter at the manufacturer-recommended interval or sooner if driving conditions are severe.

Quality Assurance

WIX recommends this filter for OEM air filter change intervals and validates filtration performance through laboratory testing to ISO 5011 standards. The WA10983 is built to meet the demands of everyday driving as well as harsher operating environments.
