    Mann filters are very good.

    The filter depicted on the right looks like one for a six-cylinder engine. The one on the left is correct and is a good choice. Make sure you replace all the O-rings and the crush washer when you do the change.

    Looking in www.realOEM.com, it appears you require filter p/n 11421716192.

    Hengst
    Mann
    Mahle
    …and perhaps
    Bosch
    febi/Bilstein
    …would all be good alternatives to BMW

    Not OEM brands and twice as expensive as they should be.
    These parts stores are not really for our cars

    Here's bimmerbum's oil filter page. I also installed a magnetic drain plug. I had one in my motorcycle and was impressed by it.
