I wouldn't use an Amazon sourced MANN filter.

A few years back China flooded the market with knock-off MANN filters, it was so bad, they actually got into the BMW dealer parts network in the Middle East!

This is why you should use Genuine BMW parts ***Video*** - E46Fanatics


Why "roll the dice" with your engine, Genuine BMW filters are $10 more at the dealer.
