Functional description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The engine ventilation heating is required for countries with very low temperatures in the winter to prevent the ventilation line from "freezing". The flow into the differentiated air intake system can freeze at constant-speed driving and temperatures below - 25 °C as well as in extreme short-distance driving. A heating element according to the PTC principle is used.
