Re: oil filter
Seen that on many engines from the M50 family already. No need to change them and if you do, don't waste a mind boggling 8 euros on an original example. You can easily save 1 or 2 bucks there! Horrible isn't it, people want a bimmer in front of the house but don't have a tenner to spare.
