That's the filter I've been using on my 2015 mazda 3, I've been getting them from Rock auto. So far no issues that I can see, took one filter apart after use and it seemed good.
Yes, absolutely can use Bosch and they were fantastic.
My E550 gets M1 0W40 every 5k, with a new fleece Hengst filter. I don't drive it hard until I see past 80C on the water temp (I don't have an oil temp gauge- only the E63s do). Basically the same procedure I use on my S54 BMWs, and every performance car I've ever owned
Honestly I just use whatever BMW certified oil I can find at a good price. Used Motul this time, had Castrol before that. Bosch oil filter.
I do the oil every 5k on both and use liquid moly 5w40 and a hengst filter.
I use Liqui Moly Leichtlauf and Hengst filters from FCP Euro on my 1.8T Passat. Highly recommend.
I use liqui moly but I have my doubts about whether it actually is *the best* oil. I'm sure it's good, but any oil that meets the spec called out in your owners manual is "good". I place more weight on the filter than anything else. Hengst for me, get that Fram shit outta here.
Castrol 5w-30-M with Bosch filter.
[The filter was this](https://m.autodoc.co.uk/bosch/11156545)
You could do another oil and filter change to see if it was that or if the oil was just a coincidence.
Bosch filters are almost as bad a FRAM now.
