N62: oil filter removal - Spring found (solved)
Hi all,
I just got a call from my BMW mech and they told me that upon removal of the oil filter and filter plastic housing, they found a ball bearing in there. They said this is the second time in 10 years they have come across this but they have NO Idea what it actually is from. these mechanics are not fools. They are all very seasoned BMW mechanics. They said another owner with an N62 X5 had the same issue 10 years ago and the same engine is still working 100% and the same owner still brings that engine bck for maintenance when needed adn has never complained of any issue related to the oil system/ball bearing they found. Have ANY of you ever heard of this before? I swear I have, but I thought it was for another brand engine. Maybe they are in there to circulate the oil and keep the additives in suspension  just kidding. Its a mysteryEDIT: MAN I AM BUSY>>> too busy to even listen to my mech when he tells me it was a SPRING, not a ball bearing. UGH I need more time in a week
