Oil filter Mann or K&N

Also have an 08 328i, I use and stand by Liqui Moly 5W30 Special Tech oil paired with their Ceratec additive and an OE Mann filter. It is perfect for a high mileage BMW and makes it run better than ever.

Also, use the best filter you can afford and that means K&N (I hate that VW Mann 3D world junk).

What I usually order with K&n performance oil filter.

Buy a good filter too, Mann is a very good one.

OEM Engine cover intake and piping with new MANN Filter never used

I've used Mann, Mahler, Bosche, K&N, and Porsche filters and have seen no difference apart from K&N have a welded bolt on top to ease removal.

Replaced the NGK Iridium spark plugs, MANN engine filter and cabin air filter a week after getting the car and was easing it with E85 and fuel cleaners before that as the owner told me it was sitting around for a year. Very happy with its idle noise and freeway speeds (in Mexico of course).

I like the MANN filters

Use VW or MANN filters. They really aren't much more expensive.

The filter I was running was a K&N. I removed the old filter and it had totally collapsed. The oil light would come on at every stop in the first 10-15 minutes of driving. Especially in cold weather. After changing the old K&N filter that was in horrible condition, I have had no issues whatsoever.
