Jesus H Christ, that's the worst oil filter I've ever seen. I'd agree to doing a second filter and oil change again after a few miles.

This is something that really annoys me where you find a previous owner has been just downright careless with what they're doing. I had an E34 a few years ago and when I went to investigate why the headlight beam adjuster wasn't working I found that a previous owner had simply disconnected the loom at the headlights for some reason. I mean WTF .... why would anyone do that and just leave it that way ???

My current X5 was reasonably well taken care of by the previous owner though I must say. I haven't found anything major where they were just careless.
