[QUOTE=Patrick-Irish;806128]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 ???
then they cry and complain saying that BMW's quality is not good at all!!!!! idiots. I always change my oil in every new (used) car I buy withing the first few days. Friends call me paranoid but this comes up over and over again. An 06 Jetta had oil that looked like it was a diesel's, over 1.5qt low, and I doubt it was even synthetic (can't prove it though).
