Get a disinfectant, such as Lysol or an AC disinfectant from an auto parts store, and spray it into what’s called the plenum.

BMW has been a rarity among luxury automakers in that all new models since 2017 that are leased or purchased include a “scheduled maintenance” plan for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.

If a physical repair is needed, it can take weeks after an initial recall announcement for…
I’ve been told by multiple people that the set of a short drama doesn’t necessarily look that different from an indie movie or commercial shoot, except everything is churned out much faster to save on costs.

But while automakers readily highlight the overall luggage capacity of their offerings, not all of that generous-sounding cargo room is usable space. At Consumer Reports, we evaluate SUV cargo room differently. We use an expandable rectangular pipe-frame “box.” We enlarge it enough to just fit through the rear opening and extend it into the cargo…
