Decided to change my cabin filter today, I’m gonna be honest and forgot these had them. I think the P/O forgot to, the old one was dated May of 2003. Quick little before and after. Ofc bought the Mann filter, gotta keep it OEM ????

I went from 20w60 to 10w50 and now I don’t get that cold start rattle. If you’re in a super cold part of the world I’d go for a 10w or 5w oil, with a higher 2nd number for good viscosity for an engine @170,xxx kilometres. Also, make sure you run quality oil filters, like Mann filters as the cheaper filters seem to not have very good quality anti-drainback check valves in them.
Pros: no cold start rattle
Cons: metallic rattle sound (with 20w60)
Mileage: 170000 km
Got a workshop quote me for engine oil change $550. I do it myself with liquid moly and Mann oil filter cost me $200.
It's fun DIY your car, changing engine oil isn't too difficult , just learn from YouTube.
And it's only takes 30 mins to do it.
Pros: fun DIY, not difficult
Cons: workshop quote expensive
I bought a MANN filter for \\~$20 on Amazon and swapped it myself in under 30 minutes with a YouTube video.
Pros: easy to install
Vehicle:
MINI
Tbf, cabin filter always overpriced on BMW authorized dealer. At my local dealer, a standard carbon filter
(made by MANN) is thrice the price if you buy the same MANN filter without the BMW logo on it.
Pros: same job, same features
Cons: overpriced on BMW dealer
Mann
Every single BMW I have ever owned has come to me with the factory date coded filter, every single one gets a new Mann in it and every time it runs better. Change your fuel filter ppl.
Pros: runs better
Vehicle:
BMW
Mann, Mahle, and Hengst are the three biggest BMW OE air filter manufacturers. They all make a good filter.
Pros: good filter
Vehicle:
BMW
It’s not the worst I’ve seen. But - I’d go back to stock and change the Mann filter every few months……
Pros: not the worst
Cons: go back to stock
I did the same mistake and bought these filters. They suck, just buy OEM or MANN filters (they are the same as OEM)
Pros: MANN filters good, OEM filters good
Cons: aftermarket filters suck
