Try it and if it works, stick with it. The engine seems to be doing well with that and Fram filters at 8000km changes over 150000km.
You can just get the fram ones thou. I have been using them for 4 years no issues.
oil 0W16 filter I use Fram XG4967
Fram Titanium gets good reviews.
I don't understand why people are giving you a hard time for using FRAM, these filters in specific are actually pretty good and I've been running them myself for the past 40k miles (I only use them for 5k miles, though) without any issues.
Fwiw, a lot of bmw guys have problems with certain filters that are slightly too long for the housing and compress/bow out. I think fram was the culprit on the n54.
I'd rather ram it then Fram it
I used to use fram for my beater even though it had bad reputation. Couple months ago, it finally happened. When I started my car after oil change, it SPRAYED oil not leak from the filter gasket all over my garage floor. Now I just buy a few filter at time at the dealer.
Never ever use Fram….use WIX or Purolator Pure ONE
Fram sucks. Wix is the gold standard, and Purolator isn't bad either. You can do your own research, but what ultimately makes the difference is the total surface area of the filter medium and the size of particulate it's rated to filter (the smaller the better). Fram filters might as well be a pasta strainer for all that they catch.
