Mann 816x is the only thing I would use.
You wouldn't believe the damage I have seen from Chinese oil filters. A few months back, my buddy brought in his 528i with Vanos codes. The Chinese oil filter had torn and allowed unfiltered oil to plug up the vanos screens, vanos solenoids, and caused bearing damage. The oil was filled with engine glitter. I only use Mann or BMW.
I'm going to use [this kit](https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mini-oil-change-kit-5w-40-liqui-moly-molygen-11427512446kt-lm) in our R52(base model) we just got. I use the same oil in our R57s, and the Purflux filter(OEM?). When you change your oil you send back the used oil, filter, gasket and drain plug/washer and get a full refund credit to purchase parts or your next oil change kit, after the first one. That kit uses a Mann filter. They are a good brand, used them for years in my VWs
Mann makes the best fitting one that I can tell. I ordered a Mahle filter once and the inner diameter seemed larger than it should be leading me to think it’ll let oil past without filtering. The Mann was nice and snug the way it should’ve been.
Btw some brands like Mann Filter include a short manual telling you the direction of the air flow.
You want to stick to a reasonable quality of part. OE spec would be ideal. I won't use Crossland, Mann is the lowest I'll go.
I bought Mann as my first and Hengst as my second, Mann all day.
The mann is or as someone else said, no real problems using that.
Personally I prefer the mann frecious plus filters due to annoying allergies. Though they are a huge pia to get for whatever reason so I am currently using a cortero filter. Good luck so far
Both are good for oil and air filters. But definitely get charcoal. Made a huge difference for a few more dollars on something you don't change often.
changed my oil filter that apparently collapsed with a Mann brand and it definitely worked after a month later with no light the darn oil light came back I just redid my filter and oil but it came back getting on the freeway
