Oil filter OEM BMW or Hengst
Oil changes every 7-7.5k miles MAX with the correct oil and a good quality oil filter.
Garage was 100% right in changing the filter, if they don't, your just putting old shit in new oil.
Always use BMW genuine oil or Liqui Moly, along with BMW OEM M oil filters, which are made in Austria and feature an ultra-fine mesh for superior filtering.
That filter is just not right. Get an OEM filter. Hengst E300H D28
Haven’t had any issues with Hengst
Been driving these cars for almost 20 years and have yet to find a compelling reason to not use Mann or Mahle filters for everything, at times a Hengst here and there. Not one quality issue yet.
The OEM filter is made by HENGST and is perfectly fine to use and doesn't cause oil pressure issues.
Another Hengst filter?
Something is wrong with this model. I hate dealership workshops because you get gouged.
I work for a dealership and have seen many Chinese filters collapse just like that...I've seen other Chinese filters get so bad that it starved the engine of oil pressure which lead to vanos faults among other things....I'd always go for bmw oil filters, that's not something I'd be willing to "experiment" with
