Hengst filters are the original BMW ones

I think it raised it ever so slightly, maybe a few hundred rpms. I didn't have the before number so I can't say definitively.

Thanks for letting me know, I just found it odd because I never used them. The oil filter housing gasket ring was also white not the usual black I am used too. I'll continue to stick with MANN filters.

Keep using Mann -

My Genuine BMW filter I purchased about 3 months ago and just installed last weekend when I did my bi-annual oil change was a Mann filter - BMW has switched suppliers a few times over the years, both are good.

Mann and Hengst are both fine, I wouldn't worry about it. It's the bootleg Autozone filters I'd worry about— whenever I see those in a car I get a little worried.

On another note, I took the X on a long drive last night and the 2-1 downshift lurch is still present. Definitely not as bad as before the transmission software, but it is still there. New transmission fluid next.

I thought we came to the conclusion that this mod (dinan CAI) is worthy of your X5? I am getting Dinan stage3 and auto trans software on Monday.

P0741 came back this morning on my way to work. This is only the 2nd time it's happened and I started to notice when it occurs. It only triggers if I am going uphill (or an incline), and I let off the gas? If I let off for a second or two it's fine, but anything longer it triggering the torque converter code. Transmission shifts very well in my opinion, up and down. Only time it doesn't is 2-1 downshift at a light or stop sign when temps are at 210* (dead center). Anything prior to normal operating temperature and the 2-1 lurch is not there at all. I've learned to coast to the stop sign (or light) with light brake pressure to get from 3-2, 2-1 and it helps a little. Still looking to do a transmission service (fluid, filter, pan gasket). I'd really like to do it myself since it seems fairly straight forward and I assume that there is enough clearance for me to just get underneath the vehicle without lifting it (even though that would be a lot easier). I guess I need to invest in some jack stands. Funny, I called my local stealership and they said "We will not perform that service on automatic transmissions. It is lifetime..." Even if the customer wants it done.
