I just bought two BMW OEM oil filters from my dealer. Both of them say "MANN FILTER BMW 11 42 7 512 301" on the outer edge. So what's the difference between these and and the MANN filters sold by other retailers? The "OEM" filters are darker in color because BMW treats them with a chemical perservative that supposably makes them last longer. And I don't doubt that it does. Another way they legitimize longer oil change intervals.
BMW premium quality, BMW quality=SHIT!!! Tons of continuous problems related with electrics and electronics, crap suspension, cheap and rubbish quality rubber and plastics materials used everywhere
As a service tech, I call bs. If you buy decent quality aftermarket (baldwin, wix, mann, premium guard, bosch) they will hold up equally as well and do the same job. I have only seen one or two filters ever begin to disintegrate, and that was because the idiots drove 20,000 mi. between changes. Stay away from places like jiffy lube and midas and take your car into a REAL local repair shop for service, especially if you have a BMW.
From a perspective I can see where BMW is trying to drive this video for other "chinese" filters... but... what is driven home is the, good point that, someone (Mann, licensed et. al.) has to make the filter and the part meets all specifications less the real part number/ BMW stamp. That is what (BMW) has issues with and the consumer has issues with on the mark up.BMW is just late on what the big three have seen IRT this issue, and for the most part, they (thank goodness) gave up on that battle.
a real important video because my 3 series on board says to change oil every 20000+ km, unusally long intervals so i would get a jobber oil change in between the ones paid for by bmw, i can see now that it is not necessary. it would be a good idea to post how come bmw has such long intervals between oil changes...
Thats why as a BMW owner, no matter what year, model, you have to get those filters from a BMW dealership and have them OR your indie change it and YOU sit there watching it if you have to.
I can't tell you how prevalent fraudulent repairs are in the BMW indie shop world.
Used Bimms are a gamble - if they have been mis-maintained, you won't know 100% unless you buy from the original owner or second responsible owner who went the extra miles and has proof of it.
Yeah... I do go to dealer to buy bmw filters and bmw oil but thats about it. Everything else is made by well known other companies. Buying BMW OEM is just to expensive.
Interesting watch, makes one see how much R&D is put into a silly part like the oil filter alone. Personally I wouldn't get a BMW filter for one of my cars because of the price, use Mann or Bosch instead. Needless to say if I had a more modern BMW (meaning I could afford one), I'd probably also afford to have it serviced at the dealer.
Ye ye, this video is bullshit. All BMW wants is us buying their x3 more expensive parts. If u change oil etc in ur BMW yourself u will probably agree with me. I always get the MANN filters which are great.
well, there's a difference in counterfeits and aftermarket parts from third party suppliers. i barely buy original parts for me '98 E46 318i... maybe i would if i had a more recent model lol.
I did an oil change on an E39 once at Pep Boys and when I went to remove the filter, it ripped in half. Lady said she changes her oil every 6 months. Not sure the exact brand of the filter but that definitely was NOT a genuine BMW filter. Spent almost an hour picking the remains of the filter out of there. Probably a STP or possible Fram filter.
But BMW spare parts are very expensive where I am, but majority of the German cars here are all BMWs. 35% BMW, 29% Mercedes, 20% Audi, 10% Volkswagen, 6% Others.
@Skampo1119 You can purchase MANN, MAHLE and Hengst...all three are top shelf. You can purchase them from several stores on eBay. I sell them all day long to countries I can not pronounce. My personal favorite is the MAHLE brand. Damn good filter.
as an bmw automotive tech this is very true i usually use a pocket screw driver to remove it from the housing cap and it does not tear like aftermarket oil filters and when you try to pull them out of the housing or the housing cap the instantly disintegrate and what a pain it is to remove them afterwards.
HaHa. Nice propaganda BMW. You must be talking about the MANN filters that have been counterfeited. Not a true MANN filter that would never behave like that!
To make this a comedy clip very little would have to be changed. The fake lab, the security camerea black and white overhead shot.... A little dialogue change and this is a good little skit.
@BrabusTKR That's not a difference in pressure. The OE filter is that solid. It only looks like he's lightly rubbing it because it's holding up that well.
@BrabusTKR We don't know if he put more pressure on the other one, he may have put the same pressure on both and because the BMW is such a better quality oil filter it didn't break under pressure.
If BMW filters are the best then why don't they market them for other vehicles? and why do they require only BMW filters for warranty?

If you're going to be running your oil at 20,000 km intervals, you should at the very least change the filter at 10,000 km intervals.
